HHMMMM I did answer this but after looking at Kali Linux I'm not so sure that I should answer any questions on it, so I will leave it for someone else.
Hi all!
Discussing an operating system is not against any rules. Now sure, if you start in on "Here's how you steal someone's facebook password" that will get this thread locked... but not just troubleshooting a platform that, as OP accurately described, is used for much more than nefarious purposes.
Moving on;
OP; why did you "buy" a CD? Kali is a free download so whoever sold that to you owes you a refund.

For most of your questions on install/setup, apologies for the "RTFM" answer, but with BT/Kali, that's the best approach.

If you just want to figure out if your systems are secure Kali is a little OTT.
For a baseline scanner Nessus would have been a much "nicer" experience.
If you want to find out what the vulnerabilities are, and then try to actually exploit them then Kali is great.
I've also seen Kali used on a Cisco training course to show you how the firewalls react and what logs show when you are being attacked... Fairly interesting.
As I said though, if you are just wondering are you vulnerable, are there some security updates you can make etc... Nessus is a tool with a lower learning curve.
