Kali Linux 2.0 released

Kali Linux is a Debian-based distribution oriented toward penetration testing and related tasks; the 2.0 release is now available. "There’s a new 4.0 kernel, now based on Debian Jessie, improved hardware and wireless driver coverage, support for a variety of Desktop Environments (gnome, kde, xfce, mate, e17, lxde, i3wm), updated desktop environment and tools – and the list goes on. But these bulletpoint items are essentially a side effect of the real changes that have taken place in our development backend. Ready to hear the real news? Take a deep breath, it’s a long list." At the top of that list is that Kali is now a rolling distribution.
