We dont do detailed tutorials on request here sorry - we expect BackTrack users to be able to work things out with minimal assistance from others, seeing as it is an penetration testing distribution, and penetration testing requires advanced skills.

Thats a Windows application, so you can try installing it using Wine (Google it), or you can try and find an alternate program that does the same thing.

Really dude?? TRY HARDER! This is not meant to be offensive....More of a drill sergeant style of 'encouragement', but this is a very simple process to accomplish and shouldn't require a 'detailed' tutorial. I accomplished the task using three commands. You'll definitely want to find yourself a ubuntu/debian linux command reference or cheat sheet. Should help get you started. Anyway here is how

root@bt:~# wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb
root@bt:~# dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb
root@bt:~# teamviewer5

Also I feel VNC tends to work better in linux than teamviewer. It's only real advantage is NAT traversal through teamviewers weird routing system, and not needing to open ports anywhere.

teamviewer is already installed in Backtrack R2 ... can't you at lease search if the program is installed or try apt-get before opening a thread ?

Guess I've been working too much with my R1 box lately still...

This post is pretty much spam, but I had to laugh at iproute's suggestion of a linux cheat sheet because I bought this recently: ThinkGeek :: Linux Cheat Shirt

It's printed upside down so you can just look down at the shirt and read commands ... haha

Haha, I love it! I want one.. lol.
I did actually begin my linux trek with backtrack however, so it is definitely possible. It's just non automated ubuntu really
