In response to your number 2 question, which i feel is the most important (maybe because I'm a Linux advocate). All Linux distributions are called Linux distros because they all use a Linux kernel. The difference in them, is mostly some additional feature created by the proprietary companies and the User interface. That said if you are conversant with one distro, chances are you can use or easily migrate to other distro and you don't know it. It's the same folder structure and the same terminal commands except for a few tools. From what I know, Ubuntu is the most preferred Linux distro for beginners so I advice you start playing with it because it will prepare for your solutions to your questions 1 and 2. Hope this helps. |

If i may ask, what is your understanding of the position "System Analyst"? Just to be sure that we're on the same page as far as the title is concerned. |

Thank you very much for this post. I'm hoping you could help me with a Linux problem. I installed the Kali Linux on Vmware. For proper usge of the OS in a virtual machine, this requires that I install Vmware tools and for me to install Vmware tools, I need to install linux headers first. So the problem here is: How do I install Linux headers? These are the processes I underwent: After installing, I opened Terminal with root access, I tried the updates using Apt-get update The update ended with error in GPG keyrings. I also tried upgrading [apt-get upgrade] but the data size was much that I couldn't download it. I also couldn't upgrade the distro [apt-get distro-upgrade]. When I tried installing Linux headers [apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)]. My kernel is 3.14_Kali1-amd64. My respositories [leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list] are very okay. They only include the regular and security respositories on Kali linux site. I use Kali Linux 1.0.9. How do I update without GPG keyring error? How do I install Kali Linux Headers? How do I install. Vmware tools? |
