got that one sorted. For some reason the link to their standard official downloads isn't easily found. On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 12:14 AM, dan062@yahoo <dan062@yahoo.com.au> wrote:

I still haven't managed to get Linux installed on a separate partition on my desktop. I can get it to go through the process to a point, then it freezes up and I boot back to windows to try and figure out why.
For now that's another story.
While I'm reading stuff, I've come across Kali -Linux, which is very interesting and confusing. On the downloads page it only seems to have a download for VMWare (amd64). Does this mean I have to run VMWare and then install Kali-Linux as a virtual machine within...say...Windows, or is there a way to install it as the Primary OS? Is that even a good idea? I don't get it? What's this thing with VMWare?
By extension, does this also mean that when PenTesting a virtual machine like Metasploitable I end up with a Virtual Machine within a Virtual Machine. This is getting a little like a nightmare strait out of 'Inception'. Surely this can't be right.
Virtual Machines within a virtual machine is possible. There are some scenarios where this makes sense, but not many.
