What software?
Unetbootin? It's used to write Linux ISOs to USB. You can then use the USB to run your OS.

Well, I use it many times a day because I need so
In my university, its very difficult to connect to any available hotspot (600-700 active connections per hotspot sometimes ) so I used to clear enough bandwidth for youtube and stuff with the help of backtrack a simple DDoS attack can kick everyone out.
I use it for many things, actually any thing, related to computer and internet.
You can easily find some great video tutorials on backtrack tools out there.
