P.S. Yeah I'm going overboard with these kinds of threads today. Next up, desktop thread!
I like Stack Overflow, it's extremely helpful when you have questions.
Currently installing BackTrack 5 on a virtual machine because I've yet to hook up a dedicated machine for it. I might just go buy a junky laptop and make that the dedicated machine, because I already have too many desktops under and on my desk.
I'd rather just boot BT from a USB stick or something. VM is alright, but I'll probably never create a dedicated machine for it. It isn't good at all for a primary OS. It's more of a supplemental thing.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but if I just ran a debain machine or something, I would probably just end up installing all of the tools that Backtrack already has, so I figured I should just run backtrack. The one thing I don't like is it's GUI though, it's the fairly old Ubuntu GUI instead of the nicer newer one.Quote:

But yeah, I don't have any problem with doing that. Whatever works for you.
LOL may i ask why you are installing bt?

Lmao. Hate to admit it, but that circle graph is actually pretty accurate.Quote:

Well, BackTrack comes with some helpful penetration testing tools, but a lot I don't need. I mostly only need the "Networking" toolset, and I figured it would be easier to run BT then having to install a bunch of tools on Debain. I can't use my normal Windows 7 because the tools I need are Linux/UNIX only. It was either BT, Debain, or RedHat.Quote:

Yeah, that's a good point.Quote:

I found them all online, but surprise surprise, BT only has nmap lol.
I'm running Nmap/Zenmap on Windows right now.Quote:

Any tool you can find on BT you can also find on any other distro and even sometimes platform. Either find a binary or compile from source.

Hmm... I might just run debain, the only reason I was running BT is lazy-ness, I now realize. I just was too lazy to install tools myself.
I'm going to go download the debain ISO now... haha
Debian is the name of the OS.Quote:
