Secure, and very powerful when we speak about penetration testing, also who like 3D graphisme he will have all what he is looking for on this distribution : try to see it on youtube and tell me what you think |

What I like the most in Back Track is the fact that I can use it from a live CD without having to install it or I can install it on a USB and put it in my pocket so I could go anywhere and use it in every Computer .without any risk of files perte wich is not the fact with other linux distribution (dangerous to use  ) |

 that makes it a portable OS  not new but how many different pc's on separate places do you use?
Does it run *.exe files? Like Far and A2uploader.

Some time I use it on my friends Laptops so I get access to there files (don't blam me I'm just a little curious, nothing evil) . For the second question like all linux distribution back track has some specified files wich it can read (not windows files .exe .dll ...) but you can get some windows similar programs wich are disined for linux on the internet for FREE  |

Nope, for that you can use ubuntu and Wine, however, drivers are a poopular incompatibility

But I think that ubuntu is dangerous cause if you install it with a windows system the conseconses of a little error on it would be terrible  , in the other side back track do not presente any risk ones installed on a usb |

Not if you install on a different partition, and you can run Ubuntu from a USB or Live CD too, its nothing new

A friend has installed it on a different partition far than windows xp, but he had a lot of problems with his pc , for exemple he lost all his files , and the comuter didn't reconize any system (ubuntu and xp) I think it's a little dangerous distribution |

Using backtrack as a desktop OS is like using a workbench for a desk, it's not suited. Use backtrack from a live DVD or better USB stick and you have one of the most powerfull tools when it comes to security/pentesting. For anything else there are much better distro's out there. Backtrack is for security related things and nothing more.
If you need a stable and secure desktop OS just use Ubuntu or if you're less lazy grab Debian, FreeBSD or if you want even OpenBSD for optimal security. Also any Linux distro can be made very secure if you know your way around. Recompiling your kernel with extra's like SELinux and grsecuritu extensions.

He's right, freeBSD actually rocks.
