Based on the recently released Slackware 14.2 operating system and shipping with two of the most popular desktop environments, namely the lightweight Xfce 4.12 and the modern KDE 4.14.3, Wifislax 4.12 maintains its philosophy of using two kernels, one that’s best to use on 486 (32-bit) hardware, and another one modern, SMP-enabled machines. Wifislax 4.12 is now one of the best GNU/Linux distributions to come with an arsenal of the most used tools for network auditing operations. As expected, it’s a 32-bit only operating system shipping with Mozilla Firefox as default web browser, as Google no longer offers a 32-bit version of its popular Chrome browser.
