What do you think about BackTrack 5 R3? - SergenteJoker98 - 03-02-2013
Hi Guys, Today I'm gonna asking you what do you think about Backtrack 5 R3?
RE: What do you think about BackTrack 5 R3? - chmod - 03-02-2013
A lot of it is broken lol, if you are new to Linux in general I would recommend starting out with something like Ubuntu, Debian or mint.
But in general it is very good at what it is designed for with lots of powerful tools. However the developers of Backtrack are now currently developing *kali* so if you haven't already you could consider checking that out.
All in all it is good and I use it often, but I will say it's not for new comers to Linux (it can be used as a first distro but your in for a rough time) and is certainly not a good idea to use it for day to day things

Backtrack offers a lot of nice tools in order for you to pentest a certain thing.
Tho the same stuff could be done from Ubuntu which is way infront on the developer aspect then Backtrack.
Overall Backtrack as mentioned before brings a lot of good tools but overall I just like Ubuntu more duo it just having a larger community and being more supporter.

chmod, I've used since beginning of my career : Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, PepperMintOS, OpenSuse, Red Hat (Fedora 18), Backtrack 5, MineOS, Arch Linux, Gentoo (Pre-installed on VPS) and nothing else that I remember now. I'm not really newbie to linux.

Fair enough I wasn't aware of that no offence intended

As you are experienced in Linux maybe you should try this, you might have seen n00bs installing BT just to show off
Good Luck!
