I preach kubuntu, i use it on a 1.9 GHz pc and 700MHz laptop.
For powerful laptops I think its very cleaver when switching to power mode as it will lower your clock speed, dim the screen etc it just has so many cleaver ways of saving power.
Plus KDE is so much better than Gnome.

I cannot think of a distro that has even been in my view a good comparrison.
Others that I recommend checking out is Fedora KDE version and PCLinuxOS I had fun with that one.
Practicality kubuntu all the way.

lol, I've never used it to attack wireless.
If you just want something to hit wireless you really are better off using backtrack, darksat will be on soon hopfully to help he knows more about backtrack than me.

The wireless for kubuntu should work out the box, they have brilliant driver support.

You can use NDISWrapper but most of the wireless hacking tools wont work with that, your better off seing if you can pick up Linux drivers for your card.


However drunken monkey style mike says this.
Find appropriate windows drivers and drop onto your linux distro, run "ndiswrapper -i driverfilepath/drivername.inf"
then type  "ndiswrapper -l" to see is it installed and working.
then "ndiswrapper -m"  and afer, "modprobe ndiswrapper" "iwconfig"  "iwlist wlan0 scan"  assuming thats your wireless network name (which it is on mine)
"iwconfig wlan0 essid your_essid_here"
"iwconfig wlan0 key yourkey" if your using wep
"iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed"
"dhclient wlan0" or "dhcpcd wlan0" note wlano may need to be your default connection and you might want to reboot.
ANy problems ask me in morning. (afer much coffee)
I modified /etc/network/interfaces to make wifi default and moddeed /etc/modules to run on boot.
from Live CD though would require making a new ISO.


If you want to pick another distro try this.

Darksat reffered to this site http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/, the idea behind their site is you answer quesitons and they will actually pick I would think out of hundereds of distros the one for you.

What supprises me is they didn't select kubuntu, but I got fedora which I dislike Smiley.

I'm so trying to avoid the question to why you want to use aircrack, a lot of people now use wpa and it can take a lot of packets to be passed through to get it, can be days. well thats just things I've read telling me that Grin.

How much did the wireless card cost you, its 802.11n.
could be a reason kubuntu do not support it, wireless-N is relatively new.

As far as I am aware there are no Linux Drivers for that card.
Atheros and Intel cards generally have the best Linux driver support however I am not sure about N series wireless.
I have yet to test a N series wireless card on Linux (or even windows) so I really dont know.

As for the best wireless distro, its Backtrack.
3 should have all the latest drivers as well.
