I'm not going to say it's better or worse than Backtrack, cause I don't know for sure, I haven't dug through both of them enough to know for sure. This was announced, I think on this list, last week. It's definitely worth checking out more than one!

KCPentrix, a bootable LiveCD designed for penetration testing.
http://www.kcpentrix.com/
The Kcpentrix Project was founded in May 2005 , KCPentrix 1.0 was liveCD designed to be a standalone Penetration testing toolkit for pentesters, security analysts and System administrators
What's New in KcPentrix 2.0:
Now release 2.0 is a liveDVD, It features a lot of new or up to date tools for auditing and testing a network, from scanning and discovering to exploiting vulnerabilities
Kcpentrix is based on SLAX 5, a Slackware live Dvd
The Powerful modularity which Kcpentrix uses, allow us to easily customize our version, and include whichever modules we need.
KCPENTRIX 2.0 is the most inovative and promising KCPENTRIX ever. It switched to 2.6 kernel line. Zisofs compression was replaced by SquashFS, which provides better compression ratio and higher read speed.
First, I think everyone will end up finding certain distros more to their liking. Try them out, stick with one that works for you. And yes, sometimes they do have different tools.
Second, I really think a majority of people will benefit the most from and recommend BackTrack as a preferred security-based livecd. It has been around a while, is highly supported and developed, and plenty of people not only use it, but give details on uses for it on the web.
Others may have an opinion on better distros for forensics, as those tools do differ.
<- snip -> I have read many and seen many articles about Linux Live CDs for Penetration Test
But I could not figure out which is the best CD ? Does each flavor (Live CD) get tools and utilities that are not available with other ?
