Stone Studio

Protech One is a new security and pen testing linux distribution based off Ubuntu/Debian. Recently I have downloaded the Protech One .iso from their home site http://techm4sters.org/ to take a peek into the distribution. Well I don’t dislike it, booting from the live CD was easy and seems like it is pretty lightweight. The desktop GUI is Fluxbox, which to be completely honest I don’t really like using, I prefer KDE or GNOME. Looking over some of the pre-installed applications, it seems to have a decent included set.

I think this distro has a very good chance at being more than what it is. If your a Linux user you know that customizing an installation of Linux to your liking is the best way to go, however using lightweight pre-made versions are awesome when it comes to mobility, security, and lightweight usage. When I try out a security suite like this I always have the urge to compare it with Backtrack. I try not to, but I’ve grown so used to using it and being very happy with it. Run Protech One with GNOME though, and you just might win my heart…that is if I’m not in the mood for terminal.

So far so good though techm4sters, keep up the good work!
