Ok Ubuntu 12.10 is out and it is probably the most refined Linux distro (remember BackTrack is based on Ubuntu) there is. Interesting with this build is that it comes with a Windows Installer. This allows (mainly noobs) users to download and install via Windows and create a partition. It will not delete your Windows and you can with confidence, install this with no issues. The end result is you will have a dual boot system through (Windows Boot Manager) on your Windows based PC. Remember you can install all your Xiaopan / Backtrack favourites such as:Reaver, Inflator, Minidwep, Aircrack, WPScrackGUI, compat-wireless and other tools through this OS.Not only that...it will probably work better!

Or if you want the server or 64 bit editions use another link. I have tested this in VM, very slow. I have done some research and it appears that this version doesn't work well with any virtualisation software. If you try, please let us know what software you used.

some addition for this post : for ubuntu 12.10 you can easily install aircrack and reaver from Ubuntu Software Center (USC); after that u can download minidwep-gtk , by searching the minidwep package in this forum, and then install it via terminal...
Warning Windows users who want to install in parallel... What a mess! Unable to boot windows 8 after installing ubuntu 12.10 Win users Stop!!! Do not install UBUNtu YET Each time I installed it, it messed up my windows 7 x64 installation in an irrecoverable way, even though it was installed on it's own partition. You have been warned.
