RE: Can we say Back|Track best CD for a Penetration Test

["Shenk, Jerry A" <jshenk () decommunications com>]

They're all different...I carry a couple.  It's a little like tools in a
toolbox.  I have a variety of screwdrivers and a couple different
hammers.  I even have one of those little hammers with a couple
screwdrivers in the handle...but I never seem to use that one.  My wife
has this little tiny hammer, I usually use a standard one but the guys
that built my house use this big 2 lb. hammer...not sure I could even
swing that all day.  Unless you're on dialup, just download 'em all and
burn 'em to cheap CDs you pick up at Staples when they're on sale and
try 'em all out.

BTW, BackTrack is the one I read for most often.

I have read many and seen many articles about Linux Live CDs for 
Penetration Test

But I could not figure out which is the best CD ? Does each flavor 
(Live CD) get tools and utilities that are not available with other ?
