Huge Software Suite

Submitted by Ashes for Tears on January 30, 2006 - 2:46pm

8) Check it out: Huge software suite of over (purportedly, didna bother to count Blum ) one hundred apps. Thing is though: 'bout 25% of the apps are in Italian, though I suppose you could hunt down language packs from the homepages of each app respectively. Another downside: Although the hybrid Pstart-like/Win98 Start Menu-clone is actually pretty nice, if a tad lacking in the looks department, it's all a mishmash of English and Italian. And, you can only get it from Download.com at the moment; the homepage website does not seem to have a download. Pardon

I'm posting my search instead of individual links so you can choose which suite you want, though personally, i went for Gold 8) Biggrin

Self-Promotion is NOT Permitted -- Comments sought...

NOTE: I'm working on a firm policy against self-promotional postings to try to avoid instances like the AppOnKey guy that was spamming the forums. I'd like some thoughts and opinions on the following. THANKS!

Please be aware that self-promotional postings are NOT permitted. The goal of this site isn't to let everyone promote their own products or sites. There are a few exceptions, though:

1. If someone asks a question that is directly relevant to your product then it makes perfect sense to chime in. Examples would be questions or comments about your product directly... or someone asking if anyone knows of a good product that does X and your product happens to do X.

portables on linux - ?

Submitted by towsonu2003 on January 20, 2006 - 10:10pm

I am in love with your portable applications, especially firefox and openoffice. I keep unzipping them to computers where I'm not an administrator (ie school library computers). I love the fact that I can use openoffice in a university library that is in love with microsoft.

I was wondering whether you are planning to port them to linux. I would love to share the same firefox -themes, extensions, and bookmarks- (and use new openoffice without installation as my distro has the buggy beta) both in my desktop and laptop without screwing around.

thanks for the stuff. kicks a**!

PS. I found a couple of forum topics that suggest a portable linux (DSL) and one with no replies that asks the same thing.
