backbox != tools
imho, you should learn how to linux works, may be using another distro, when you are ready (for job or for fun) you'll notice that in rare case you need to play with all the tool present on bbox... when you'll need to do something, you'll learn that!
you have to learn step by step!
for example, more than half of the tools present here doesn't have a gui so you need to learn cli, to learn cli you need to know at least linux about 5 years, step by step man...
btw we are just a little OT
