Nope, that’s why I have everything under the REAL don quixote, cause its apparently a popular handle after I made it infamous by doing absolutely nothing of importance. XD

Yep, nUbuntu is cool, but I think someone could make a better solution that can serve as a solid OS to use all the time as well as a pentesting suite.

All someone needs to do, is use reconstructor to put all the tools from Back|Track into a strpped down Kubuntu distro. Of course this would take time. Darn you time!!

That and my need to eat and sleep and pee all the friggin’ time are what’s really holding me back in this world.

Sorry TMI.

I dislike DVD’s because not always is the machine you need to compromise “modern” the main box i hack is just my friend’s fileserver (because we have an attacker-defender rivalry going on) and that’s an old beigebox with no DVD drive.

Crap, forgot to note that, while Backtrack is the Cheese,
i a actually like nUbuntu better. and Knoppixt STD isn’t bad for light Grey hat stuff.

I don’t mind DVD’s really.

More choice is better, there are a lot of ways to crack a nut

Some people prefer different tools for different things and all modern machines come with DVD drives anyway.

I still think BackTrack rocks it though.

And a release that updates the hacking tools themselves from a repository would be an awesome project.

Yeah, KCPentrix seems a bit bulky to me too. However, I’m not averse to a live DVD with a few different distros to choose from or one awesome one.

I tried using Ubuntu Ultimate as a base for all the hacking apps in Back|Track but there are just too many resource hogs there to deal with. Plus, feisty fawn is buggy as all hell.

I’m sticking with Back|Track 2.0 for now, at least until Back|Track 3.0 comes out. If BT 3.0 is a DVD I’d use it. You can always install it to a thumbdrive for faster read-write capabilities, or just sack up and install to a partition on your HDD.

I’d like to see a modified Adept installer or Kpackage updater in there, but with hacking repositories and slax kernel updates instead of Ubuntu and GNOME craptackery. Honestly, I really don’t care how pretty my desktop looks, *cough* beryl sux *cough*. As long as everything is fast and has a bit of ease of use added in, I’m as happy as a nerd in a strip joint.

while i’m all for hacker live CD’s,
i’m all against hacker live DVD’s
just cut out some gui stuff and fit it on a CD, come on now. If ubuntu fits on a CD, anything with only hacker stuff should
