Newbie here; this the right place to post this?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this? I'm new to backtrack and I'm going to install it in a bit. I've had a bit of experience with ubuntu but still a beginner with linux. I was advised by a friend that backtrack is a good linux distro so I decided I would give it a go. A quesiton about these forums, are newbies like me welcome here as in asking questions after not having been able to find the answer with google or are these forums more like debian forums? Nice to meet you all.

ok. sorry about that archangel. will do. I was just reading the stickied topics after I made my first post.
Asking questions related to BackTrack is fine as long as you have put in effort to resolve the problem yourself first. You'd probably be best off not asking basic Linux questions though, this is required knowledge as BackTrack is considered an Advanced special purpose Linux distro.Originally Posted by Lestatius

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
