Check this one... http://www.lupopensuite.com/

And is also distributed in this website (in Spanish)... http://www.jambitz.com/descargas/2008/08/22/lupo-pensuite-v662

How do I know that is an ilegal distribution? because it's distributing CCleaner, Firefox, Foxit Reader, IrfanView, and Opera with the platform, and the platform is just a skin of portableapps.com

UI needs/suggestions

Submitted by goinportable on August 25, 2008 - 4:15pm

I'm not quite sure where these suggestions belong, so please move it if necessary.

The first thing I need is for the PortableApps menu to stay on top of other windows. I have set up a hotkey to display the menu but it often displays under the topmost window.

Second, I would love an integrated hotkey to display the window (I currently use AutoHotKey to accomplish this - but it only works on my machines - those that have AutoHotKey already installed).

Third, I would love to be able to arrow through the menu and hit "Enter" to run a portable app.

Getting CVS working on a Portable Hard Drive

Submitted by mathemajor on August 23, 2008 - 9:59pm

Hey Everybody!

Longtime forum lurker and portable apps user, but first time poster here. I am just getting into CVS for the first time through a new CVS repository on mozdev I created for my new Sunbird/Lightning extension. Because I am in my undergrad, I typically program on at least ten different computers in various locations around campus, at work, and at home. I have hence been trying to find a way to get a CVS client up and running on my portable hard drive so that I may access my files and website on mozdev from anywhere.

I just did a search on sf.net for "portable" and our main page came up on page 3 after things like GAIM portable and other old projects now merged into the one.
Is there anything one can do about that becaue I think it sucks.

Pocket PC Compatability

Submitted by DeadlyRed on August 22, 2008 - 1:34pm

Hi, first time poster, however I'm a pretty long time user of portableapps. I was wondering if the apps can be executed from an SDHC card on a PDA, such as the iPaq 3835 which I own. I believe it is a windows based os, but still who knows if it'd work. I'd like to get some firefox/thunderbird running on it, and for my portable devices this has always been my first place to look. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Which is better FAT32 or NTFS

(I know there are many discussions about this)

I read an old guide on how to convert FAT or FAT32 into NTFS. (http://www.computerfreetips.com/System_Tune-Up/convert_fat_ntfs.html)

Now what I'm afraid is that it is written there

"Now restart your computer and enjoy NTFS features, but keep in mind you cannot covert back it to FAT or FAT32 again."

So is it true?

And before i convert my Flash Drive into NTFS what are the real advantages of NTFS over FAT/FAT32? We have very many FAT32 flash drives that went corrupt because we forgot to use the safely remove.
