And speaking of phones, Moto4lin does not connect with razr V3m phones , and if someone knows of something that does (I use Ubuntu) please contact me..

I'm not suggesting a distro war but Fedora has just as many, if not more, installations than Ubuntu/Debian. Leaving out half the community isn't very nice.

If I had the time, patience & IQ I would love to try all of those things. However, I was able to purchase USB keys with the current versions of Ubuntu and Knoppix preinstalled. These work extremely well, and the software available on them is at least an order of magnitude greater than DSL or Puppy. (I actually was able to make my own bootable Knoppix key, but it was for me too much hassle, and I would rather just support the guys who make this stuff for sale. Great article!

I just installed it, used it, formated and put my original files on it - no problem. How old and how much use did you get from the drive before you installed portableapps on it. Maybe depending on the age and usage your drive reached its natural end of life cycle. dohogn,

I tried it and would like my thumbdrive back. It's not a bad program I just didn't realize it was permanent. Just go ahead and try to format that thumbdrive after installing portable apps.
