Most of free software is very basic while advanced stuff is mostly very expensive and/or requires ot know what you are doing. @Dotan Cohen

Actually, I currently need a portable app that will let one recover files from a corrupted SD card connected via USB card reader. I have a phone that is always corrupting the cards. A friend of a friend once used some windows tool (I do not know if it was portable or not) to recover the files. I know of nothing like that in Linux, and all the windows apps I've seen require admin access. As the only windows computers that I have access to are the non-admin university boxes, I'd like a portable app to run there. Thanks! Thanks, Rarst.

Trying Ubuntu from time to time since Vista disaster started. btw welcome to blog, feel free to ask and suggest if you need portable apps for specific tasks, I often find hard to decide which to cover. :) @sowmithry Glad it works for you. Which install method had you used? Wubi? @Dotan Cohen

And you can find many open source packages which can be installed just by one click using "Synaptic Installer" in Ubuntu.

I started using Ubuntu three years ago, when it was still hard to use, and I only come here now to read about portable windows software that I use to fix other peoples' computers. Though, I have installed Ubuntu for about 20 people and it is now (since version 8.04) much more comfortable to use than Windows for most people. Thanks, a few Ubuntu posts would be great.
