guys the before post closed and i wanted to clear something out,
i am doing it for education purposes only everything is on my Vmwawre and i am newbie to Black Hat and i really wanna be one,
cause there is a profession at my country that is really awesome for Black Hat, the Job is that you go to Organization and you ask them to hack em or to try to hack they servers/website/database and after you do it you need to create an report abut the organization weak spots so they will improve their security,
honestly i find it really interesting and i really want to become black hat only for that reason no wish for harm if anyone got any suggestion for how to become a real black hat its will be more then appreciated,suggestion or got good study resources or materials on the topic
i am ready to study alot for it i just dont know where to begin
all my knowledge is like a puzzle i know abit ddos a bit python abit wireless hacking and i kinda wanna take it to the next level so i really need some help its really for a good cause

Perhaps you'll need a couple years of real deep Linux usage before you should even start thinking about an ethical hacker's career. Somehow I think you're too naive for this profession.
If you want to work in computer security, then my advice is to to become comfortable with programming at the assembly level. Assembly language programming is a skill you'll need when you're called upon to do things like reverse engineering malware. You should also become familiar with networking at as low a level as possible. For example, you need to know how TCP/IP works in order to understand how firewalls work.
Do note that running a DDoS attack does not demonstrate any employable skills. There's a reason that people who do these things are called "script kiddies."

I am curious about why your friend thinks that Slackware is better for DDoS -- it doesn't make sense to me given what a DDoS actually is (a Distributed Denial of Service -- hundreds, thousands of separate (normally compromised) machines either performing a volumetric (data, MBits/sec) attack or an application layer attack (e.g. sending hundreds or thousands of requests to a resource that has a long think-time - e.g. a database lookup)). I don't see how it makes any difference which Linux distribution, let alone Operating System is selected, since you'd be using it to control zombie remote hosts.
You might want to question your friend who's better at it ;-)
