Run portable apps in Linux

Is there another way other than using wine to run my portable apps in linux?

I am a student and the computer labs here run windows xp and I run linux at home (dual boot. Possibly install linux soon).

What I am looking for is a possible portable emulator that runs window base portable apps on linux computers! I hope I make sense!

No

I dont know any. The only solution I know is wine.

Off topic: Just out of curiosity, what Linux do you have?

Install Wine

Your answer is to install wine at home. Then you can run your portable apps at school and home.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

yup..

and i have to say that wine works best with ubuntu. with it installed in ubuntu it is near seamless integration meaning you wont have to open the apps through an annoying process. i dont know how well wine works on other systems besides Mandriva and Freespire and both of thoes use the somewhat annoying process
