The interesting part for me is that the new .ISO downloads offer multiple versions, including a choice between GNOME and KDE desktops and the images include ARM, 32-Bit and 64-Bit versions.
New in Version 5
- Based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS;
- Linux kernel 2.6.38 (with wireless injection patches);
- KDE 4.6;
- GNOME 2.6;
- 32-bit and 64-bit support;
- Metasploit 3.7.0;
- Forensics mode (a forensically sound instance);
- Stealth mode (without generating network traffic);
- Initial ARM image of BackTrack (for Android-powered devices);
- All support for Backtrack 4 will end on May 10th, 2011 and BackTrack 4 will not be available for download from our official mirrors from that date onwards.
As for the ARM image, they have had some joy getting BackTrack running on a Motorola Xoom tablet – check it out here.
