Out of Date

This may have been a good offering when it first came out, but it was next to useless for me in its current release state. Kali's appeal is that it's a *small* Linux distro. But, in order for it to be useful, you have to be able to install tools to it. Unfortunately, almost every apt-get I ran ended up with failures due to the package repos returning 404 errors.

Ended up having to launch a regular ubuntu image and then using the kali AMI tools to create my own Kali instance that apt-get actually worked on.
