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.

Cheers
Scott

Virtual Machines within a virtual machine is possible.  There are some
scenarios where this makes sense, but not many.
