First, let me apologize for only using Linux for one day--ever. I don't know what got with me, but I have a very strong desire to use Linux when I can, and migrate from Windows to Linux unless it's necessary to use Windows. Anyway, I've loaded a live USB Ubuntu and Mint and messed around with them, and I am very impressed. But, that's the extent of my Linux experience, sad to say. I've used the MS OS since the DOS days, so I am comfortable with command like use.
Anyway, to my questions. They pertain to running Kali on a Windows machine through a virtual machine.
What I want to do: Run Kali from my Win 8 Pro install using VM.
(1) What is the difference between the Kali ISO and the Kali ISO VM Ware ISO version?
(2) I'd like the VM version of Kali to be persistent. Can the persistent information reside on a USB drive, and would 16GB be enough?
Thanks and please forgive my Linux ignorance.
