Linuxseekers

Surprisingly,  after I  executed the  startx  command,  a very impressive

Kde  bootsplash  appeared.  Awesome!   Is this a security distro?  Then

a loud sound greeted me once the Kde environment was fully loaded up

in 20 seconds.

Once in KDE desktop, I could surf the internet as the network card had

been enabled by default.  The networking was disabled by default in the

older version of backtrack.  The icons, the theme, and  the  background

looked stunning.  It has very modern and sophisticated look. I dare say

that it is as aesthetically pleasing as PClinuxOS 2007 test 3 and Dream-

linux2.2.  Maybe the Backtrack 2 developers could also develop a pure

desktop spin for Backtrack when they are not "attacking".

The tools numbering in hundreds  are very  well arranged.  The submenu

(called backtrack) that houses all the  penetration testing tools  is located

at Kmenu.  The bactrack submenu has been  re-designed to make it more

intuitive to its users.  It  is intuitive because,  the  tools  have  been   arran-

ged  according  to  the  logical  sequence of the  pen-testing  stages. See 

below for the screenshots.

This is the structure of the new backtrack submenu which is more intuitive.

Info_gathering-->enumerating-->scanning-->exploiting.

While this is  the older version of Backtrack  submenu  which  is  far less

intuitive. This is due to  the  fact that  the tools were arranged according

to the functions of those tools.
