But do you know that you can use any application directly from your pen drive or portable USB hard disk just by connecting your Pen drive to the any PC or laptop. Ahha you all are still in confusion, what actually i am talking about, so lets have better view.

Canonical releases Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 !
Natty Narwhal Alpha 3 is based on the 2.6.38-rc2 Linux kernel and features indicator improvements, as well a new look for the Unity Dash and a resize function. Ubuntu 11.04 sees Unity, as the distribution's new default desktop developed in-house by the Ubuntu developers, replacing the GNOME Shell and, as previously announced, the replacement of Oracle's open source OpenOffice.org office suite with the LibreOffice community fork.
Package updates in the development preview include version 3.3.1 of LibreOffice, Firefox 4.0 Beta 12, version 2.13 of the Transmission BitTorrent client and Upstart 0.9.0 – version 1.0 of Upstart was released on 2 March. Other changes include updates to the Ubuntu installer, which now allows users to upgrade their existing Ubuntu installation to the new version, improved iPhone support and a new Ubuntu One Control Panel.
As with all pre-releases, use in production environments and on mission critical systems is not advised. Users testing the release are encouraged to provide feedback and report any bugs that they encounter.
Further information about the third alpha can be found in the release notes. A list of planned features and changes for version 11.04 of Ubuntu is available on the Blueprints for Natty page. Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 is available to download from the project's web site. Users currently running Ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop system can upgrade by pressing Alt+F2 and typing "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box.
The final version of Natty Narwhal is expected to arrive on 28 April 2011. The latest stable release is version 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat", while the current Long Term Support (LTS) version is Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS "Lucid Lynx".

BACKTRACK : Some initial configs
Hey guys ... how u been ???? Kumar here, i didnt get any response on my previous post How to Install BACKTRACK 5 and Manually Specify Partitions Using It , I m disappointed :-( . anyway here again m posting another tutorial on it ....... wish to get some comments .... plz comment
INTRO
With backtrack installed on your pc you can do a hell lot of things , but there are certain things which u cant do by a root account , like playing media etc (which is very important). So m gonna tell you some basics hereAlways upgrade your backtrack repositories
you sud upgrade your repositories frequently.To do this issue following command:
#apt-get upgrade
if you are not on root account then add sudo before above command and then enter password.
Create n user (non-root) account
u must create a user account and use that. There are many reasonssuppose as an example of what an attacker might do, if you happen to visit a malicious website hosting a Linux exploit while running as root, that exploit will have full access to your system. Running as root, that exploit will be able to do a much wider variety of "bad things" than it could if you were running as a regular unprivileged user. While Linux client side exploits aren't exactly that common in the wild, they are still not unheard of, and their prevalence will grow along with the use of Linux on the desktop, so this is something that should not be totally discounted.
To create a user account issue these two commands :
- # adduser
- # usermod --groups admin,disk,cdrom,audio
Install VLC
to install vlc , you must first upgrade your repositories as explained above, then issue this command :# sudo apt-get install vlc (easy ,isnt it ?)
Hope this has been informative for you. More on backtrack soon.
Stay tuned , and comment :)
Have a good day ahead !
How to Install BACKTRACK 5 and Manually Specify Partitions Using It

Installing Backtrack
After you made DVD , boot your PC with it and follow these steps:- Boot the live cd and select the first option as in the picture above

- then to start GUI type startx and hit enter.
It will start the installation procedure.
You must be asked to specify partition for installation . There are three way to do it
- By using entire disk : this will format your whole hard disk and install backtrack
- Automatically side by side : this option will create partitions automatically and will install backtrack along with other OS present in your system.
- Advanced : in this u have to it , this is a little tricky follow these steps below.
Manually Specifying Partitions
Follow these Steps :- Select Manual as the partition method.
- In next window select any drive with free space

- With the "free space" line selected, click on the "Add" button. In the new window, select the "Primary" option, type a value between 10,000 and 50,000 (the memory u want backtrack to use) in the "New partition size in megabytes" field and select / as the "Mount point."
- Click the OK button and, in a few seconds, you'll notice an ext4 / line with the specified size.
