Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Better than ParrotOS, BackBox for hacking purpose
Contains too many tools for hacking. Those tools are not already included in BackBox or ParrotOS.
Pro Standard pentest tool set
Pro Live session distro used for forensics
Pro User-friendly
If you have used and loved Amiga, this is like classic Amiga but more stable and fun to use.
Pro Lightweight
Super lightweight, start up takes less than 20 seconds on 10 year old hardware. Works on most PowerPC-hardware by Apple.
Pro Old Amiga software compatibility
I was surprised to see most of my must have Amiga software worked without problems here like AmIrc, ArtEffect and Personal Paint.
Pro Customizable
You can customize the GUI or download already made parts of GUI from MorphOS storage sites like this one here.
Cons
Con Not intended to be a daily driver
This distro was written for pen testing and security work. It is not meant to be a day-to-day OS (unless that's your job).
Con Very old packages
E.G. Firefox's current version is 61 but Kali linux consists of its 52th version. Though kernel is not that old.
Con Entirely lacks in security
There's no security at all. All programs share the same memory. The system can easily get hacked, even by a less skilled hacker.
Con Lack of software
Compatible with most modern Amiga software compiled for MorphOS, but does not run modern Windows or MacOS software.
