General Discussion

I just noticed this.
On SourceForge, PortableApps.com is listed as the #38 downloaded project of all time!

Congratulations to John and I hope we make #1 soon

Upon reading some discussions I seen some mentioning of including freeware / shareware portable apps. I would vote against including it to the applications pages for several reasons:

- Other sites already doing this
- Freeware could always switch license or restrict usage somehow
- Open Source more likely to keep support

Hello? Is this compeny gon bust or what?
There has been no change of apps till LAST MOUTH!!!
If there is eny one there please realpy.

P.S. The web site looks so old and borry, plaese, plaese, plaese can you make it cool and f**ky man!!! (red was so last year)

I did a search and from what I read, it appears that there really isn't anything viable at this point for PortableApps in Linux. Could someone confirm this for me? If I'm wrong, I'd love a link to a working distro

Also, I am in a situation where I have to go from Windows on a Desktop to Ubuntu on a laptop, back to Linux on another desktop. Is it conceivable that using the same stick I could do this (assuming that there is indeed a linux distro working?)

hey i just wanted 2 know the email address portable apps uses to send emails

Hi,
After installing The portable apps suite on 2 different usb drives I have noticed a TREMENDOUS slowdown on both. Just deleting files takes forever. Under device manager both drives seem to be using General USB as opposed to enhanced usb. What gives and how can I remedy the situation.

Everything installed fine but now if I want to install or delete apps or files it takes ridiculously long. Open Office portable takes 2 hours to install.

I was having problems with one of my usb drives, and while searching for a tool to test it with, I stumbled something called USB Memory Stick Tester, which claims to be able to test usb drives for errors.

It looks like it hasn't been updated in a few years, and before I go and use it I was wondering if anybody has heard of or used it.

I make this topic because (unfortunately) John Haller doesn't reply me (I have only 1 reply from Haller date 14/12/06, but I make 5 e-mails in length of time) to my e-mails from middle December 2006 (sorry John, but I can't wait your e-mails to infinity).

Today, Tuesday 25 September 2007, I don't know how contact you.

Dear John,
First of all I love the site.... I think it's awesome!! Quick question though... I am starting up a Drupal site (on October 1st, my site http://www.ELOnline.Us) and was wondering how you have images on the front page without them just being an attachment at the bottom???
Please respond before October,
