hello all, im new to the forum seeking help.. i have ubuntu 12.04 as my primary OS, and was seeking aide and assistance with the install of bt5r3, only because im on a 5GB/month plan with verizon as my wireless provider.. i own an asus U57A-BBL4 6GB ram 720 HD.. when i installed 12.04, i had to unpack the kernel in order to enable my wireless capabilities to use my verizon "jetpack" wireless device.. i was recently told that if bt5r3 and ubuntu 12.04 have the same kernel version, then i wouldnt have to do the same method to bt5r3 that i did with 12.04, however would i be able to use my verizon wireless device if all else is true? please help if possible, thanks in advance..

I would suggest you to install virtual machine, such as VirtualBox and VMWare, for the BackTrack 5 r3. This way, your BackTrack will use the host computer (i.e. your Ubuntu 12.04) to connect to the internet and no need to configure in the BackTrack.

i see, sounds like the best way to produce results, however, will i still have suffice effectiveness and productivity out of using vmware and virtualbox? meaning results with positive output and feedback?
