2 Interesting Linux distributions: Endless OS & Parrot OS

 Endless OS is a Linux based operating system and has a hardware platform linked to it. It was developed in order to solve the problem of limited Internet in some remote places so you could use almost every service without needing connection to the Web. It started being a crowdfunding project that reached $176,538 in one month and after a few months later some computers appeared with this OS inside. It was a good idea and also cheap because you wouldn't need Internet so you will save money. The problem was that between this type of OS and the ones being able to connect to the web were many features that led the first ones to almost disappear. Anyway you still can find them and I think it is a good solution when you go somewhere you don't have access to any network. 


Parrot OS is an ethical hacking distro based on Debian, focused mainly on everything related to computer security. This distro has been designed from the ground up to stand up to other alternatives, such as Kali Linux or BlackArch, focusing on offering its users a complete ecosystem of penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and analysis, as well as forensic analysis of systems, preservation of the anonymity and practice with cryptography and encryption. Basically is the one of the best OS to develop yourself in the field of cryptography and cybersecurity systems due to the amount of services it has and also is a really good way to develop your hacking skills in an ethical way. 


Between this two OS there are a lot of differences such as their origin which was focused one on people having problems to access the Web and the other group wanted to test protocols on the network, and as it is obvious the target of the public are also way different. Endless OS for normal people without any IT formation and Endless OS for people who wants to develop their skills and analyze in more detail the breaking the network skills.
