But you can use most USB drives with a linux but only to transfer files. PAM and the portableapps on this site can not actually be executed. But you can have portable linux which is the actual operating system run off the USB drive.

You can run WINE.

Using WINE... I do it and it works...

Should I have a signature?
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
The core pieces (PortableApps.com Menu and PortableApps.com Backup) are both designed to run under Wine just as they do under Windows. Most of the other apps will run quite well under Wine as well. See the Application Compatibility page for a quick overview of what apps work within Wine.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
