I have installed the Nessus 3. scanner on a laptop using both of these distributions. The install is okay and I get as far as executing /opt/nessus/sbin/nessusd -D but thats all that happens. The GUI never starts up.
nessusd is the Nessus server daemon; the "-D" argument tells it to run in the background. It should, though, at least print out a copyright notice and a progress message as it loads the plugins. Is it running and listening for connections on port 1241? If not, check the nessusd.messages log for errors. The GUI is a separate program; with Nessus 3.x it's NessusClient. In general, NessusClient must be built from source; see <http://www.nessus.org/download/> for the download.
