Computer operating system? DOS maybe, or perhaps CP/M.

What do you think "hacking" is? And what *EXACTLY* do you want to do?

Set up some unpatched XP VMs with Virtualbox, then download BackTrack 5
and also install that in a VM. Find a Metasploit tutorial. SecurityTube
has a great one. This way, if you fuck up, you don't end up discovered,
or loosing out on a great opertunity. Happy hacking!

I would recommend installing vulnerable applications for pen-testers
locally first. Mutillidae or DVWA (damn vulnerable web application) and
2 great ones.

You can safely practise on these.
