I like Arch. So much so, I created my own custom Red Team "distro" based on it.

From an Arch Installation ISO:

$ curl -k -L -s get.archnemesis.nation-state.org | bash
$ cd archnemesis
$ vim ./nemesis.cfg

Modify nemesis.cfg as needed:

• Change hostname
• Change keyboard layout
• Change pacman mirrors location
• Change session
• Change ssh port
• Change theme
• Change timezone
• Change user
  • Add authorized key
  • Change password
  • Change username

Note: You can alternatively modify the nemesis.cfg elsewhere and just use curl to grab it before installing.

$ ./install -h # READ
$ ./install [/dev/DEVICE]
$ reboot

Note: Default password: nemesis

• Store progress
  • Continue from where you left off, if error encountered
• dm-crypt +/- LUKS
