Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

portable frostwire(suggestion)

Submitted by johnnyrico on June 20, 2007 - 7:37am

In response to all the requests for a portable limewire, which is not possible primarily cause it's not open source, I would like to suggest Frostwire.

For those of us who don't know Frostwire, Frostwire is an open source Limewire clone.
it is nearly identical in UI to limewire, works like limewire pro(dl from 10 sources simultaneously instead of 8 sources) and also has bittorrent support.

as it's a sourceforge project, I think there shouldn't be any jurisdiction issues regarding making it portable.

"JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager. The native file format used by JabRef is BibTeX, the standard LaTeX bibliography format. JabRef runs on the Java VM (version 1.4.2 or greater), and should work equally well on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X."

Just A question bout virtuall desktop like aston shell

Submitted by geoffgordon on June 16, 2007 - 1:49am

would it be possible to have a "virtual desktop" that could virtually reproduce a full GUI from the flash drive complete with backgrounds and themes and therefore no longer see the "host pc GUI" but a "portable pc GUI"
yes i know it has been discussed before but i would like to see a complete gui interface there are a few on the market that are comercially avail but none that are truly portable i want one that ALL data is stored on a usb flash/hdd (i have a 160gig usb hdd so size is not an issue) but not an os that requires boot/admin privalages.
