How to dual-boot BackTrack 5 R2 and Ubuntu 12.04
Though this article is about dual-booting BackTrack 5 and Ubuntu 12.04, which is yet to be released, it could be used for doing the same with current (Ubuntu 11.10) and prior versions of Ubuntu. This is because the installer has not changed across those releases. In any case, you only need to worry about this if you are going to install Ubuntu anew for this operation. If installing Ubuntu anew, it does not matter whether you use using the current stable version of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 11.10) or the beta version of Ubuntu 12.04, which is what was used for this tutorial.
If, as with the system used for this tutorial, you have an existing installation of Ubuntu, then you do not have to worry what version of Ubuntu you are using. All you need to do, if you want to follow the same steps outlined in this article, is to download an installation image of BackTrack 5 R2 from here. Note: There is a KDE and a GNOME edition of BackTrack 5. The KDE edition was used for this article. Burn it to a DVD and boot the computer from it. The computer will boot into a Live KDE desktop. Click on the Install BackTrack icon on the desktop.
BackTrack is actually based on Ubuntu desktop, so they share the same installation program, though BackTrack’s version of the installer has a different interface. After clicking through the first three steps of the installation process, you will see a window similar to the one below.
If, like the computer used for this article, yours has a default installation of Ubuntu (12.04 or 11.10), which means that it is installed on two partitions (/ and Swap), then you could select the first option (Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup) or the last one (Specify partitions manually (advanced)).

How-To: Get My Desktop with MATE in Ubuntu
Finally, the busiest part of my week is over, and I have time to write this. Anyway, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" is getting ever closer to its final release, and that means Linux Mint 13 LTS "M[...]a" will be released soon afterwards as well. That version of Linux Mint will ship with the GNOME 3/Cinnamon and MATE DEs. I haven't tried Cinnamon for myself yet, so I will reserve judgment until later, but from what I can see, it looks like a pretty nice way to have a Linux Mint-style GNOME 2 interface in GNOME 3.

Click on the Install BackTrack icon on the desktop.
BackTrack is actually based on Ubuntu desktop, so they share the same installation program, though BackTrack’s version of the installer has a different interface. After clicking through the first three steps of the installation process, you will see a window similar to the one below.
If, like the computer used for this article, yours has a default installation of Ubuntu (12.04 or 11.10), which means that it is installed on two partitions (/ and Swap), then you could select the first option (Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup) or the last one (Specify partitions manually (advanced)).

How-To: Get My Desktop with MATE in Ubuntu
Finally, the busiest part of my week is over, and I have time to write this. Anyway, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" is getting ever closer to its final release, and that means Linux Mint 13 LTS "M[...]a" will be released soon afterwards as well. That version of Linux Mint will ship with the GNOME 3/Cinnamon and MATE DEs. I haven't tried Cinnamon for myself yet, so I will reserve judgment until later, but from what I can see, it looks like a pretty nice way to have a Linux Mint-style GNOME 2 interface in GNOME 3.

Though this article is about dual-booting BackTrack 5 and Ubuntu 12.04, which is yet to be released, it could be used for doing the same with current (Ubuntu 11.10) and prior versions of Ubuntu. This is because the installer has not changed across those releases. In any case, you only need to worry about this if you are going to install Ubuntu anew for this operation.
