Get a complete security toolkit with BackTrack 3

,----[ Quote ]
| Once this is done, reboot the computer and use the BIOS or boot selector to 
| boot from the USB keychain and BackTrack will load on the computer. At boot 
| you can select from textmode or use Fluxbox or KDE.  
| 
| Once the system is up and running, the interface is quite useful. With the 
| KDE interface, a number of standard tools are provided such as Firefox and 
| Pidgin, amongst many others. The “BackTrack” menu item then allows you to 
| find the tool you’re looking for or explore new ones through its categorized 
| hierarchy.

All the necessary software is already installed. That's why there are so many
distros... different professions, taste, expertise.

For security purposes, Windows is useful as a honeypot only.
