cross-platform portable apps

Submitted by amartires on October 20, 2008 - 4:54pm

Hi,
I just gathered a small list of my favorite portable apps that run on Windows, Mac and Linux.

I would like if you guys could sugest some more of you own.

Here's my blog:

I recently downloaded OpenOffice 3.0. And I used the Universal Extractor to extract the installer. But then the folder that was extracted was all weird and didn't contain any .exes or anything else. Just weird files with no names other things.

So I just deleted it but I couldn't. It gave this alert.

I even tried deleting it with eraser.... and just got errors.

Help?

Dealing with Linux folders in Windows.

Hi:

I have been looking for a new icon set for my USB and decided to download some .png(s) for Linux. Problem is I'm a Windows user and when extracting the folder almost half of the .png(s)/.svg(s)had 0 B as the file size and were empty. Every Gnome icon set I downloaded looked that way and I am sure it's not the extraction process as I tried it with 7-zip and Pea Zip and got the same results. How do I interact with the Linux folder to access all of the files.
