Not all are broken, but for me (even tried 2 browsers)
these and others are not working:

Go to https://wiki.backbox.org
then try links in the left panel for:

Installing BackBox Linux
Installing BackBox on VirtualBox    (That's one I really want!)

ETC... (only about half the links in the left panel actually
bring you to different page). Hello?

Ehhhhh (Fonzi welcome).
Glad you are here and learning. Me too. Good luck
and best wishes! Keep striving, learning, and
hacking!

Hi, downloaded 4.5 latest BB, 64-bit, confirmed md5,
used iso to install in Virtualbox Version 5.0.14 r105127,
it hangs in "Configuring apt", even when trying
multiple times. Will try VMware next, or maybe
bare metal. Just want to see if others have similar
result...
Thanks.

UPDATE: Also happens with VMware! Here are lines shown in the
"install to hard disk" window, in the command interface panel
which is just below where it says "Configuring apt...":

NOTE: THIS STALL DID NOT HAPPEN WITH BB 4.4, only with 4.5

Welcome, glad you're here. Glad u like BB,
I do too! Have fun and let's keep in touch on the forum.
Cheers!

Hello fukwad,

want to change your username.... maybe not ... lol ....

Hi, new to backbox, have searched forum, docs, and online, but please forgive if answered already.
Is there a way to restart, disable, enable networking without rebooting?

I am running backbox 4.4 that I have installed as virtual machine in oracle virtualbox.
Apparently this command does not restart the networking:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

and it does not recognize as a command:

systemctl

I thought one of those would work since backbox is based on ubuntu ...

Any pointers greatly appreciated, and all the best for a great 2016!
