Request Apps

Alot of programs can be made portable by just copy & pasting from your directory to your USB drive. Alot cannot be, but many can.

I am looking for a portable News Group Reader. Has anyone thought of that or have one?

Might i recommend or ask for a Portable IRC client? i've always loved sitting in Freenodes and chatting, but hated that you had to install it.... just a simple request...

i would like to see crimson editor on here. although its easy to just install it from the flash drive it would be nice to not have to install it then uninstall it after finishing working with it

I like to use Hamachi for my VPN needs (for connecting "securely" to VNC sessions, monitoring client uptime, etc). It doesn't appear that the application (still in beta) needs much, if any, modification in order to run portably. Being able to carry around a self-configuring VPN connection in my pocket would be great for finnicky NAT or Firewall.

Hi all!
Just wanted to ask if anybody uses any (freeware?) bandwidth monitoring tools?
At home I like Bandwidth Monitor Pro
http://www.bandwidthmonitorpro.com/
some friends use DU meter

Don't know for sure if they are portable'able but any other alternatives would be nice to know!

Hi,
I've just reached this page and I like it very much, it was just what I needed for my pendrive

Hi,

I think it would be cool to make Gajim portable. Gajim is a Jabber-Client and is, like Gaim, GTK-based. It can use other Accounts like ICQ through transports of the Jabber-Servers.
The Package can be found here:

Thanks,

I was looking at Athera the Kompany as a possible portable PIM. It looks like a pretty good replacement for MS Outlook, but admit that I don't know much about it.

I appears to be open source with proprietary plug ins.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi there!

I feel the new, free, VMware Player (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/) could be a great candidate for portability.

With a large enough USB drive you could have it with an uncompressed virtual machine (for example Microsoft Windows XP takes 900MB), solving portability problems in a radical way.
