Want to run some of your favorite Open-Source Applications from your flash drive?
www.portableapps.com
They have portable versions of many popular apps, including:
- OpenOffice.org Portable
- Mozilla Firefox Portable
- Mozilla Thunderbird Portable
- 7-Zip Portable
- ClamWin Portable
- GIMP Portable
- AbiWord Portable
- KeePass Password Safe Portable
- Audacity Portable
- VLC Media Player Portable

- and FileZilla Portable, along with many others.
It's all free, too, and you don't have to register to download the software.
I have been using this suite on my Flash drive for 3 months now, and It really comes in handy.
Just thought I'd post it here

I am a great fan of portable apps and also of stand alone applications which don't require installation.
Here are the links to the stand alone applications I have - I presume they are therefore also portable..

Just a word of caution. There are a lot of hacked, unofficial portable apps out there - most don't work or are spyware infected.
