Linux is built around the command-line, which is more powerful and a better interface for the subject, where-as windows is primarily on a GUI, which means you need man made (lack of) software for it. Linux is made to be totally configurable; windows isnt. Linux is open-source so you can always make it better and pretty much do anything you want with it with the right skill Linux has **** loads more capability than windows for this. Linux is more secure and reliable than windows
And as for Backtrack, it's pretty much Ubuntu Destro with extra pre-installed/coded features for those lazy people who don't know how to use the command line, it is not the best, they're all the same as they all share the same source and are all debian-based making their kernals pretty much identical, it's just "faster" to 'learn'/'actually' 'hack' with.
then there were Fedora, Knopp, Pacman, Gentoo and RPM. Which all suck. -- Edited by DTCrazedKid on Wednesday 30th of May 2012 06:14:54 PM

not running at the moment, but have tried loads in the past, why would you need to learn how to use it? what job are you in? it's only really good for networking... hacking/tracking and stealing peoples credit card details

Actually it's a pile of wank for that. Backtrack is best for hacking. Although please explain how an operating system designed to be a free alternative for windows (and emphasizing on user friendlyness to linux) can possibly be "good for" stealing card details?

Haha, the job I got. Well you've sort of answered your own question there matey.
It's good you mention that though. Explains why the company uses it.
They don't wanna pay for windows, or they have some proper IT nerds there. depends who set the thing up in the first place lol
No the company is massive. Trust me. They had to pay for a licensing fee to use it. I don't think they're using ubuntu. Red hat Linux I think is what they I use.
I don't know. I have to go through like 6 months of vetting lmao.

Ah, well yeah only a small company would choose Ubuntu and it would be for that reason. Red hat? Gotta do a lot of databases and networking lol. Lots of Unix stuffs a happnin.
