DIY: Get top-quality open source security tools in one distro

I thought the NST distro had ended when merged with another to make Backtrack but it's good to see it's still going. More toy.. er.. tool sets to make use of when one is more applicable than another. Still, how does it compare to Backtrack (the current standard in the category)? That could be an intersting article; a comparison of at least Backtrack, NST and Live Hacking DVD.

I haven't given much thought to such tools lately. Time for a new toy.

I find Backtrack has an huge array of tools that are always been maintained and upgraded and the support for the distro is nothing less than amazing.
