Also in a related note, if you guys haven't already visited James Murray's review, this book should help compliment your learning with BT4-5.

I just went to their downloads page, apparently they are not offering a pre-built VMware image like they have in the past (I don't know if they tend to offer it at later date.)

Usually takes them sometime to prebuild the VMWare image. I remember waiting awhile for BT4 VMware image, but someone should post a guide soon enough.

The do offer the VMware Image...

Unless someone knows about a 4 to 5 direct upgrade....

They must have either added that option today or I overlooked it, thanks.

UPDATE: The first time I viewed the downloads page, I selected the KDE desktop option and for KDE there is no VMware image available, glad I'm not going crazy.

Yup. Got it... love it.

Tried it out. Promiscuous mode is working on my Intel 5100 AGN. Woot!!!!!
