@5:07 "It comes in a couple of different flavors" (Home/Workstation and Security)
Is the Home/Workstation distro identical to the Security distro, absent the inclusion of the myriad of security applications that come preinstalled?
In other words, are the two distros basically identical, except that the Security version simply includes lots of pre-installed security related applications?
I want to divorce myself from Windows, and this looks like a great distro for my next computer. But I have to decide which of the two Parrot distros would be best suited for me.
I am not into all of the forensics tools that come with the Security version (but I would like to learn). So aside from the Security version taking more disk space (which is not really an issue these days), can I install the Security version, and just not use the Security tools until I have a need or want to learn about them?
In other words, can I use the Security distro the same as the Home/Workstation distro, by simply ignoring the additional security tools?
Is there a reason, or some advantage, or a situation where it is more advantageous to install the Home/Workstation distro?
Do both versions have the AnonSurf feature?
@22:46 "over 600 (security tools)"
This intrigues me.
But how does someone that is new to this wrap their head around this blizzard of tools?
Does the distro offer a synopsis of function/purpose of what each of the 600 tools do? Or do you have to use 3rd party internet resources to get information for each one?
If it is the latter, then that is quite tedious. I hope there is a feature, such as hoovering over the item, to see a sentence or two for what it does.
Great review.
