Emulator that runs Linux

Submitted by SoLowRockerMan on March 20, 2008 - 12:16pm

Probably the coolest thing to do for a portable app is to make a portable emulator that would allow Linux to run in a window while Windows is open.

This would ensure that people using corporate or school PCs which may not be configured to boot from USB or CD/DVD drives would be able to run their favorite Linux (which for me is Ubuntu if that means anything) without messing with the BIOS settings on a computer which is not theirs.

I'm not sure if it's open source but I hear a lot about QEMU or something like that. I figure that could be a good place to start.

Jahshaka

Please excuse me if this has been answered before. Was anyone still working to try and portablize Jahshaka? From what I have read it looks like it is a good video editor and might make a good addition to the Portable Apps suite. If not, does anyone have any suggestions on another open-source alternative video editor?

Duplicate Text Finder

Submitted by AppUser69 on March 20, 2008 - 8:47am

I need a portable app that can locate and remove duplicate entries in a text file. I did a search but could only find apps to locate duplicate files, not duplicate entries in a text file. I wish it was a feature that Notepad++ could handle but it seems it does not. Any help would be appreciated!

I think that there should be a section for launchers on portableapps. Everyone always asks, "Can Project 64, Halo, and Virtual PC become portable?" When there is a launcher already made for all three of them.
