I spent about 5 hours but finally got Back Track 2 distro of Linux installed to the harddrive of my new Acer laptop. I fried a Compaq in highschool trying to install RedHat so I was a bit wary of this. I followed the video tutorial and it all worked pretty well. I now have a dual boot machine with all the hacking tools I could ever need…I mean offensive security tools I could ever need.
Its nice to be back into Linux – I was taught Linux in my high school computer science class by a great teacher Roger Frank – a founding member of Sun Microsystems – but haven’t used it since.
Problems with the install:
- Partitioning took about 4 restarts to get it to work, and create the filesystems, mount them, and install BackTrack
- No wireless lan support because my laptop has an external switch for the wireless – which defaults to off
- More to come i’m sure
I’m going to get Ubuntu up in the next few weeks and check that out too.
Here is the new version from backtrack, it is backtrack 4 pre, i found a very god install howto.
