[dundee] GnackTrack distro released

[azmodie]

So what is GnackTrack?

GnackTrack is a penetration testing distribution for Gnome fans. For those
not in the know, a penetration tester is an ethical hacker.

Many of us have heard of BackTrack <http://www.backtrack-lunux.org/> but
just struggle to get on with KDE <http://http//www.kde.org//>. Many people
prefer Gnome <http://www.gnome.org/> based linux distributions and thus
GnackTrack was born. Originally GnackTrack was created by adding Gnome on
top of BackTrack and stripping the KDE parts but this proved to be extremely
painful OUCH!!! There was a lot of "junk" left over so it was decided to
build a gnome based penetration cd from the ground up.

With Ubuntu <http://www.ubuntu.org/> being one of the most popular
distributions it made sense to base GnackTrack on that, especially because
the 10.04LTS had a long support life.

What to call it???? Well, being as we wanted to base this on BackTrack it
made sense to call it GnackTrack. It's just stuck. This distro also uses the
BackTrack repo's so it's only fair to pay respect to the
RemoteExploit<http://www.remote-exploit.org/>guys for all they're hard
work.

Remember the spelling: it's not nactrack, gnactrack, nattrac, gnaktrak,
nacktrack... get it right! It's GnackTrack!
