Howdy yall,

I'm still new here, but I was thinking. We have a portable Mac OS why not have an OS that can use Other towers and machines? I happen to know that there is a Linux Distrobution called "Damn Small Linux" (DSL). Located here: http://damnsmalllinux.org/

Hopefully I am posting this in the right place, I recently found an old Sega megadrive in the loft and dusted it off to play some of my old favourites (showing my age there) but alas it did not work.

So I was wondering if anybody knew of as open source Sega Megadrive emulator that I could download from somewhere and if it was possible to make the aforementioned software, if indeed it exists, portable.

I know there are some DOS emulators and was hoping somebody may have come across what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

About two years ago, I think John had a portable Shareaza in the works. What's the status of that? It just kind of dropped off the radar...

Firstly I KNOW 'fineprint' [http://www.fineprint.com/] is NOT open source/freeware etc & it's more of a 'driver' than a software - but does anyone know of something similar that IS Open Source & can be made portable

The one thing I find a pain @ work is the waste of paper when printing stuff out,
whether it's a Word,PDF,Excel or whatever

Yet by using a program like 'Fineprint' to squeeze 2 pages onto 1 or do double sided printing (even if it does mean manually turning the pages over) would be a god-send

I think Portable Mail server is a good idea. I used hMailServer (simple admin interface and user friendly) for my pc but that appears to write to registry.

Thanks to devel

Program:Abyss Web Server
License:Open Source
Description:A web server with a bunch of features.
Website: http://abyss.sourceforge.net/ (this is the last open source version of the software)

I found how to make this portable here. I was wondering if a PA Launcher could be made?

I'm suprised that the Puppy linux and DSL are missing at portable OS's gategory. :s

I use this program at home on my main computer and it stores all information locally, the only problem I have is, I would like to play with it at work so I can study my C++ and I cannot obviously install it at work with out getting in trouble, I know that it is useful, and is better then a game suggestion... I am guessing it would be easier to port as it has all its own DLL's and is mostly to my knowledge portable, please ask me for more info if you need it.

Here is the site I got it from.
