The story goes like this (quote from faq),
Many of us have heard of BackTrack but just struggle to get on with KDE. Many people prefer Gnome based linux distributions and thus GnackTrack was born. Originally GnackTrack was created by adding Gnome on top of BackTrack and stripping the KDE parts but this proved to be extremely painful OUCH!!! There was a lot of "junk" left over so it was decided to build a gnome based penetration cd from the ground up.So GnackTrack uses Backtrack repository, that a great news for Gnome users because Backtrack has a great list of amazing tools. The OS is just in incipient stage & lacks some basic features. Most bugs are fixed in this new release.The live cd is also present in VMware format for download.
With Ubuntu being one of the most popular distributions it made sense to base GnackTrack on that, especially because the 10.04LTS had a long support life.
What to call it???? Well, being as we wanted to base this on BackTrack it made sense to call it GnackTrack. It's just stuck. This distro also uses the BackTrack repo's so it's only fair to pay respect to the RemoteExploit guys for all they're hard work.
