I haven't tried this one, so I cannot verify it but I have tried many other apps from this site and they have all worked.

I dont know if I want to use it. It may steal passwords.

Portable apps version isn't going to work in Linux.

And why is a web browser going to steal your passwords?

What you need is a portable web browser. Lucky for you Google Chrome is available in a portable version.

Here is a link, that explains what it is, it also explains to you how to use it. (it also has a download link).

Does it work on Linux?

(Sep 08 '10 at 18:36) Ryan Sweigert

I dont think it works on Linux, but you can test it out :S

Your school uses Linux!?! Thats pretty cool.

Yea, we learn on computers.

K running portable programs is different for Linux than it is for Windows.

Heres another link that explains how to do it but you need to get some file extension or something, but it explains everything. (there are also working download links lol).

(BTW ... In my school High School they forced me to use Windows even though I was a Mac user).

I have no idea, but your school runs on Linux!?

That's awesome. Mine runs on Windows Vista :/

Yea. Ubuntu. My old ran on XP. So this is a big improvement.

I would like my school to run OSX...but it's a small school (Highschool - 800 students), so that might be a little expensive xD

You can use Iron it is a browser much like Google Chrome you can download it onto a thumb drive and I use it at my school as well what OS do you need to run it on because I can test it it run's on just about every linux distro I have tried it on you can get the download I will put below. It's very stable and very fast. You can use the Google themes for Chrome on Iron as well. http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_download.php
