[muglo] portable applications

For some time i have been using a portable environment - programs and data 
reside on my USB stick and when i have to go to a windows machine i at least 
have the programs i want (firefox, gimp, open office etc) with the preferences 
i prefer and the data i use. I use a fast 8 gig stick for small stuff and a 
80gig portable device for large jobs like web/database work.


The programs all run without being installed.


The portable apps environment I have been using in class is only for windows 
but the FreeSMUG (the free software mac users group) page now has a portable 
apps environment and downloads for osx. 

The page is at: http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps

I'll try this out and see how it compares.
