[brlug-general] Portable Applications

[Mathew Branyon]

Yea, I ran into this site a while back trying to put together an all
purpose usb flash device that could handle anything.  My idea was to
partition a 1gb flash disk, half with this, and the other half, a
bootable linux distribution.
All that for my job as an IT consultant

I haven't played with it much, but so far I really like what I have seen. Essentially this lets you carry around your own "personal" Windows programs configured just as you like them but can run them on any Windows computer. It also looks like that other operating systems will be supported in the future.
