BT4 Tool Changes - Question

[MisterITGuy]

Hi everyone,

I've been reading these forums for a long time now, on multiple user names. I never really post because there is so much information to absorb, I am all for utilizing the very primitive action of searching, so please spare me the flaming.

However, I have to ask you all of your opinions instead of pulling them out of context.

I am a Ubuntu user and a working IT Professional, however sometimes I have a hard time understanding seemingly spontaneous changes. I have become quite accustomed to the different methods of simple actions (such as dhcpcd, iwconfig / ifconfig details) in BT3, even though they are different then in BT4 and Ubuntu.

Is there a largely important reason the architecture of backtrack has migrated to a more Ubuntu apt-get no mad-wifi sort of environment that I am missing?

I was just wondering while messing around with the latest BT4 disk that I burnt and I'd love to hear. Thanks guys.

I think this was covered in the blog.

However, I believe the shortest answer to be that they wanted the Ubuntu style software repositories to ease the development and upgrade processes for Backtrack. You can check the blog I linked above to make sure though...

Alright, cool. I just always figured they almost purposely left everything to the more detailed and complex method for the sake of turning away the skiddies, hah.

If you spend a little time looking at the idiots corner and the last few pages of the newbie section you will see your answers appear.
