Hi Maxime
I have tried several vmware Linux combinations. Below is a list of my
experience:
Linux Suse 9: big troubles with NAT between vmware and host OS;
Mandrake: couldn't get SVGA running;
Redhat 8: smooth as it should be!
so my favourite is definitely Redhat 8.0

Subject: VMWare and which linux distro?
Hi List,
I think a good portion of you guys use a VMWare-Linux setup when doing
pen-test (for many reasons). The question i would like to ask is, which
linux distribution works best for this specific purpose ? Obviously you
dont need a distribution with many fency Xwin features and preferably
good networking tools built-in.
I am uncertain about which would work best in this particular scenario
and i really cant think of anyone better then you guys to give me
insight.
Thanks,
-Maxime
