portable operating system

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on April 5, 2006 - 3:49am

Hi everyone.
Still surprised to see 'coming soon' tag on portable os.
I downloaded puppy linux iso onto my pc and burn it on cd, load directly from cd and it has the option of making a portable puppy linux at the start menu with other options. I am still a newbie for linux as an os; but still, it IS a portable os.
Anyone interested in it may download from http://www.puppyos.com/download/downpage.htm
Hopin to see more cute portable apps.

Hey John,

I dont know if you knew this but there was a referance to www.portableapps.com in the most recent edition of Computer Shopper (May 2006 I think). As it is Britains biggest selling computer mag its sure to drive some more traffic over here. It was mentioned in a review of a U3 drive and the reviewer said that if you could get the software you wanted from www.portableapps.com then you could save yourselft a lot of money!

Moving from PortaSoft...

Submitted by nm35 on March 29, 2006 - 12:36pm

As of now, I'm going to be moving out of PortaSoft. This is partly to avoid the whole business of fragmentation, and partly because the new PortableApps.com is going to be much more powerful than the e107 system we set up over on PortaSoft. (Plus the ads aren't as annoying... ;))

From now on, any apps and updates I make will be kept here, as will be support and development threads for them; after thinking about it, I've realized we just don't need to fragment things. I'll use free file hosts temporarily until the application hosting is up here.

Password Manager

Submitted by wsm23 on March 28, 2006 - 9:36pm

I have tried Roboform and Signup Shield,both U3 versions.

I need more than the free 10 logins that they offer.

I like the interface on both.

I have looked at other password managers but the others I have run into are more
secure storage and/or copy and paste. Too many steps for me. I use a computer because I and a typical American. I am lazy.

I am using FF for some of my passwords, but I would like to keep that info more secure.

Any user friendly, open source Password Managers that you know of?
