How about adding uniformserver to the list. It runs Apache, PHP5 and MYSQL plus it only takes up about 15mb of space. Here is the link to the site http://www.uniformserver.com/

i am badly in need of this, as i am constantly on the move, & need a good crm, that can take addressess of my contacts, maintain transactions, as & when they happen, & keep reminders & todo list. contact addresses must have configurable fields, in addition to the minimum what thunderbird provides. all thunderbird contacts should be saved as crm contacts by default, (or vice versa) so no duplicating the contacts entries.

i am willing to devote time to plan the features wish list, & do the beta testing, whenever required. anybody interested ?

One of the problems that I have as a consultant is not having a full suite of tools when I am off for meetings. Normally I use a Palm T5 for most work. Sometimes, clients have problems that need more sophisticated tools. One of the best open source tools is R, an open source analogue of S. It is extremely powerful (See Modern Appllied Statistics with S - Venables and Ripley) and has the bleeding edge of stats.

I had originally requested a portable implementation from John. However, you can do it yourself, just copy the foler c:/program files/R over to your USB. When you load the USB, you need to navigate to the RGUI module in the BIN folder. Firing that up gives you a very powerful statistical system. It seems to work not badly on a USB key (about 100mb needed). I am still testing it in a USB environment. I have tried it on a "cold" machine on which R has never been installed and it seems to work well and leave no obvious leftovers on the main hard drive.

It stores settings in ini file.

Does anyone know if this writes to the hard drive or registry anywhere? This is a really nice word processor that supports tons of document formats. It comes with an installer but I just moved it to a folder then uninstalled. I know that it creates 2 .ini files the first time you run it, qjot.ini and qjotrecent.ini.

Is there a good portable MD5 check utility?
Does it support other formats?

What about Abilon? http://www.abilon.org/

It saves news and memories somewhere on the local computer but it doesn't need any setup. I would call it half portable.

call me nuts, but is there any chance of getting that on a usb stick.

if not, what's there to prevent it from being portable?

ps. i know about DSL and flashlinux

How about one? I have seen one called HJ-Zip, but it really stinks. I knwo it is probbaly not possible to do WinZip, but maybe one of the open source ones.
