I'm new with BackTrack and i don't know how to install a program like Chrome, for example... i was used to using Ubuntu but here in BackTrack there are no application for debian packages...
What have i to do?

I think you need the software center,
apt-get install software-center

apt-cache search chrome

Then

apt-get install *name of package*

Might help you

You can install .deb packages by using the following command

dpkg -i package.deb

Where package is whatever you want to install.

apt-get install synaptic
synaptic

or use Kpackagekit (KDE) or the equivalent for GNOME.
