wipeout

I would suggest you try a diffrent OS, before you buy any components.

Yes, they are amazing ...just wanted to point out that kali is based on debian ...I would recommend a stable debian to pretty much anybody:).

I really do agree with you....There is no such thing as a "best/utlimate" linux...and I think there never will be. For the simple fact, that different people have different needs/preferences. I fell in love with archLinux, I really dig the rolling release thing and the fact that I do not have anything installed. A Server admin might fancy Debian because it is a very soild and stable system or Redhatlinux which offers an enterprise solution... If you are new to linux, stick with something basic for now and get to know the system. If you are currently using windows install VirtualBox and play a little. After you get comfortable enough with the distro that appeals to you the most install it . Thats pretty much the best advice I can give you. Also a live CD/USB could be a good idea. Take a look here: http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/best-linux-distributions#toc5 for a pretty good list of Linux distros out there.

So you actually recommend a debian based system?!?

I really do love ArchLinux and for a advanced user it is a solid recommendation. Although I would suggest installing every OS you think about using in a VM, before you actually install it. This is a pretty good overview https://www.makeuseof.com/pages/best-linux-distributions#toc5....
