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

how can it used for fun ?
for what purpose it can be used ?
tell me in detail

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 :shock:) 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.
