The Pentoo Team has announced last evening, July 30th, the public Beta release of the Pentoo 2012 operating system based on Gentoo Linux.

Pentoo 2012 Beta comes after three years of hard work to bring you all the latest and greatest tools for your daily penetration testing tasks.

"Yesterday at Defcon I was able to finally complete building of our brand new beta. I now present to you, the best pen-testing distro I was able to whip out in 3 days of heavy drinking and partying while walking around with my laptop all of defcon constantly looking for a source of power to keep compile going."

"This iso has had nearly no QA at all, but I can promise it will rock your socks. Please check the blog for further details. (still 64 bit only for now, sorry). Quit following the crowd backwards and join the revolution today." - said Michael Zanetta in the official release announcement.
