Hey there,

Just installed Backtrack to dual boot with ubuntu. in fact i'm running it now and am pleased with it. I was just curious to hear about others' positive or negative experiences with it.

I boot bt3 from a SD card and I like it a lot. It's very educational. Can't wait for bt4 to come out so I can do a real install with it.

Backtrack is SLAX-based and therefore offers the power of Slackware on a live disk. Can't lose with that :)

w00t to that. You didn't have any problems doing a hard drive install did you though?

Ouch.... I was hoping it would stay with slax. hmm... I still want to try it though.

Luckily BT4 is still based on KDE3... Yaahhh....

I couldn't get my wireless card to work with BT3 so couldn't really enjoy it much, the security applications and the tools. So, really looking forward to BT4.

I'm not much of a fan of KDE :( I'm also looking forward to trying something other than slax. should be very interesting!

Well, since I'm not too keen on KDE4 yet, KDE3 is a good thing to me.

I didn't really try to with the new laptop since it's going to be KDE when bt4 comes out and I can save changes with the SD card install anyway. The old laptop wouldn't even run the bt3 cd. I'll do a real install with bt4 for sure.

I'm looking forward to the bt4 release. The beta is supposed to be released after ShmooCon 2009 which ended on the 8th of this month so it should be real soon.

Now based on Debian core packages and using the Ubuntu software repositories, BackTrack 4 can be upgraded in case of update.
Backtrack just lost all appeal to me. Oh well.

Based on Kubuntu.... Oh no.

Why would anyone want to move from Slackware to *buntu as a base?

I agree, why is this still posted in the Slackware sub-forum?
