Elephants Dream

Made entirely from open source software. Yes, it's free. Yes, you can download it. No, you won't go to jail by downloading it and giving your friends a copy. Yes, it's a good movie.

PortableApps.com | Your Digital Life, Anywhere™

Win32 only :(

These guys ported most of the useful (and open) apps you use daily to work on a thumb drive. Now you can carry most of these apps (and their configs, cache, bookmarks, passwords, etc…) anywhere. All you need is a thumb drive and an internet shop where they allow you to execute the apps.

The only limitation is the size of your thumb drive. But on a 128mb drive you can install portable Firefox,  Abiword and Gaim which is enough to get by IMHO.
