Submitted by oyster on June 25, 2006 - 4:43am

1. metapost is a language/software that can treate a src file and generate accurate EPS file. however, it comes with latex. latex system is huge and not portable, so is there a way to do metapost portable with minimal latex?

2. is there a portable/compact latex?

Gallary 2.0

Gallery 2.0 ( http://gallery.menalto.com ) is a open source web based photo album. It requires Apache, PHP, and MySQL, so it would be a perfect fit for XAMPP. It is very flexible and feature rich. The best thing is that it is fully browser based. No client side software required.

Portable Blender

Submitted by Leonaken on June 21, 2006 - 6:31pm

I'm a freshman at Cogswell Polytechnical College in Sunnyvale, California majoring in Digital Art & Animation. I want to specialize in 3D modeling, yet there's a ton of prereqs in order to begin modeling classes. Screw curriculum hierarchies, I'm gonna teach myself for now. As Softimage|XSI and Maya are expensive packages to get my hands on for learning, I've started using Blender.

During off-time at school in between classes, I want to use school computers to practice more on Blender, yet you need administrative privilages to install Blender and python, and frankly it's going to piss the IT guys off if I'm installing Blender on the Photoshop lab computers and so on.

Portable ScummVM

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on June 20, 2006 - 6:59pm

It would be nice if there were a PScummVM.

Currently ScummVM saves the configs and the Filelocations into the registry (or somewhere) in Windows.
Does anybody knows where to get PScummVM or will it be planned for portableapps.com ?

DSL a.k.a. Damn Small Linux

Submitted by Mad_Hatter on June 19, 2006 - 6:43pm

This is a very good Operating System. It a Linux distrobution made mainly by John Andrews, Robert Shingledecker, and Robert Lindsay. There are other members, but you can check this out @ damnsmalllinux.org. DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.

Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:

* Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
* Boot from a USB pen drive
* Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
* Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"

Portable Peer Guardian 2

I know someone has mentioned Peer Guardian before, and I just wanted to request it myself. I'm new to the forums but not to this site, and I love the portable apps. This is my home page, and my 1 gig goes with me everywhere. I just came across this program and noticed that it was open source, so I figured I'd throw it out there.

Here's a link if you're willing to check it out:

Essentially it's an IP blocker, designed to protect your privacy during Peer to Peer transfers. It was not developed for illegal activity, just to protect privacy. Anyways, let me
