[Audio] Kali Linux is not suitable for all users because it is primarily designed for professional penetration testing, making it less accessible and easier to use compared to other operating systems like Linux. This is due to its specific focus on security and penetration testing, which requires specialized knowledge and expertise. Therefore, it is not recommended for general use or distribution. Instead, it is better suited for those who need advanced security features and tools for their work..

[Audio] Kali is an open-source operating system, but it's not a wide-open source. A small and trusted team is responsible for maintaining and updating it, ensuring the community benefits from the collective knowledge and expertise of the developers, while preventing malicious activities. Using security and penetration testing tools within a network without proper authorization can lead to severe consequences, including personal and legal repercussions. Ignorance or lack of understanding will not serve as a valid defense; instead, all activities must be conducted with explicit permission and under the guidance of authorized personnel..

[Audio] To ensure a smooth experience with Kali Linux, at least one gigabyte of disk space is needed, which should ideally be increased depending on the intended use. A minimum of 512 megabytes of RAM is also required, with more being recommended, particularly for graphical environments. Moreover, the system must support USB or CD/DVD booting. The Kali Linux ISO can be downloaded from the official website at https://www.kali.org/downloads/..

[Audio] Kali Linux provides various ways to utilize its functionality. You can install it directly on a computer's hard drive, enabling native operation.
