Another distro based on like backtrack but based on ubuntu is blackbuntu. Backtrack is very cool. More tools than you'll know what to do with.

The folks behind Backtrack are pretty amazing. Every time I read about a new infosec tool release, I pop open my Backtrack "aptitude search name" and there it is waiting to be installed.

Yesterday.. Uniscan.. muwahahahahaha
