When it comes to installing applications or software on Kali Linux, there is no difference between it and BackTrack. Those are a few of the major differences. With BackTrack and its Ubuntu installer, you get none of that. On the installation side, Kali Linux uses Debian’s graphical installer, which means you get features like LVM, the Linux Logical Volume Manager, and disk encryption. What’s the difference?īackTrack is based on an old edition of Ubuntu, while Kali is based on the latest edition of Debian.
If you’ve been using BackTrack, or you’re are thinking about using BackTrack, forget it. Kali Linux is the next-generation edition of BackTrack.
