Is there going to be an Ubuntu on stick ?

I've tried a bunch.

Seems like the default NTFS format is best. I checked my speed with USBDeview

Using a startech 8gb ($12), works ok, I got around 12 w / 18 r, though I know that is a simplistic measurement. What program was it that does the complex testing?

Also, does size matter? And, what is the best economy stick on the market now, as in around $1/GB to $2/GB.

I know consistency is an important consideration here, which is why I'm bring this up.

There is an issue with the way that some portableapps.com URLs resolve that probably came about from categorizing the applications.

For example, in the 7-ZipPortable help.html file, the URL for "Go to the 7-Zip Portable Homepage" is coded as "https://portableapps.com/7-ZipPortable" but quickly goes to "https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable".

This doesn't work correctly for other packages.

I run Firefox and Tbird off a thumb drive and recently I decided to encrypt in case I lost a drive.I installed TrueCrypt on a thumb and then installed Firefox and Tbird inside a file container, however the browser was so slow as to be nonusable. A friend at Mozzilazine suggested encrypting the profile alone, any opinions and/or suggestions.

Thanks

In the portableapps' page says that the installer is about 41Mb but when I try to download it, it's only 22.7Mb

This causes that this game cannot be installed

Please can the development team can check this.

Thx in advance

Hello everyone,

I am quite new to the portable apps platform. In fact I landed here while looking for a solution for installing a portable version of Visual Studio 2008. I am not even sure if this is possible, but it would be very helpful for me to have that.

Especially when I have to go to the customers with different machine setups and look at the problems they are encountering, I could use the portable VS to actually go through and debug the code on the clients machine itself.

What happened to these icons?

Now think hard, are they pretty? No.
(Sorry if it sounded harsh, but it took a while to find them, and I have to get back to homework :P)

Do we still need the SourceForge.net Outage thread locked at the top of the page?

Or TWO threads covering the same subject, Vote for PortableApps.com in Lifehacker's Best Portable Apps Suite, one of which is also locked at the top?

Subject pretty much says it all. I was wondering what the general state of U3 is/was. It never really seemed to take off from what I could tell. The idea was a good one, the implementation was poor. Whenever I got a flash drive with it on, I uninstalled it immediately.

I'm wondering if PA.c has had a large impact (in a positive way) on the seemingly inevitable demise of U3.

I've just implemented the ability to subscribe to forum threads and stories so that you get email notifications of new content. We'll have this on as a trial to see how much of a load it places on the system. Please let me know if you have any issues with it.

Thanks!
