I've been thinking installing a unix based OS again and I would like some opinions of which Version I should choose. I haven't used Linux in two years but my plans are to use a UNIX system for cracking, hacking, security testing and for fun. I want to install it on a PC with pentium based processor and 256 mb ram and all the goodies. Some of the choices I'm looking at and please add to these: Linux, SUN Sol., or something like Free BSD? If I go with Linux, which is the best for what I want to do? Is Free BSD good for hacking purposes? Can anyone recommend a good book on UNIX with topics relating to what I want to do?

FreeBSD or Redhat
Solaris requires different hardware.
so does OS X
(which is insanely overpriced might i say)
Even tho OS X is based on BSD
BSD beats it socks off
(unless you like eyecandy - it might be worth it)

BSD is great (more standardized than linux)
and a chimp can install redhat
and you can modify it to your liking as you learn more

as far as cracking goes
anything with gcc cuts it :)
