3 Linux distros you would love to laugh at
,----[ Quote ]
| I must say that the number of Linux distributions is greater than one can
| imagine and it is growing every day.Every time I see some geek coming out
| with a distro of his own as if it is trendy to do so.Making a Linux distro
| has become relatively easier given the number of tools there are for doing
| it,but that doesnât mean that you can come up with anything you like.Here are
| the some distributions/editions you shouldnât be using if you really have a
| life.

BackTrack 4 - Hacking galore
,----[ Quote ]
| BackTrack is a powerful hacking suite. It is well made, with stylish touches
| that add to the overall feel of the distribution. It runs very fast in the
| live mode, even faster than most installed distributions. Most importantly,
| the array of tool is rich, well balanced and overall quite impressive.
|
| The Beta version did throw a few errors here and there, but it was nothing
| major. Small consistency issues also arise, and there's the lack of support
| for Ext4, which I expect will be solved soon. Documentation needs to be
| improved, starting with the website SSL certificate and continuing with lots
| of questions regarding the general usage.

Backtrack security testing distro another great tool to convince people of
Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Many times I have experienced windows system administrators who just didn't
| care about Linux.
| These people are not against Linux, they just don't have very much of an
| opinion about it.
|
| If I try to convince someone like that, I can take my whole live just trying
| to convince them to even try it.
| But I found a way to make them experience Linux.

,----[ Quote ]
| I have dealt with a lot of Linux distros since I first learned the power of
| my newfound penguin friend. He was free unlike a Microsoft or Apple product,
| had thousands of available programs (also free), and looked damn classy while
| he was in control of my computer.
