03:14:17 <Tigerx1078> hi can i use portable apps on 3 differnt types of operating systems and what is the best route to go for doing so?
03:28:48 <Tigerx1078> help!

03:29:18 <Espreon> Tigerx1078: I suppose the other two OSes are Mac OS X and Linux... am I right?
03:29:31 <Tigerx1078> yes
03:30:20 <Espreon> Just make sure all the machines you use have Wine or CrossOver.
03:30:32 <Tigerx1078> oh ok
03:30:51 <Espreon> Sadly, I don't think portable Wine is really possible.
03:31:04 <Espreon> ... well.. an effective type of portable Wine.
03:31:22 <Espreon> ... effective as in it'd work on as many flavors of Linux as possible.
03:31:28 <Tigerx1078> ok
03:31:43 <Tigerx1078> but does true crypt also work on wine? or not
03:32:07 <Espreon> Hmmm... I don't think it'd work in Wine.
03:32:14 <Espreon> Well...
03:32:16 <Espreon> ... it might.
03:32:22 <Tigerx1078> ok i was just wondering
03:32:55 <Espreon> ... If the Windows version can assign mere directories to your... TrueCrypt stores, then it should work.
03:33:04 <Tigerx1078> ok
03:33:10 <Espreon> ... if it must assign it to a new drive, then... I'm not sure.
03:33:18 <Tigerx1078> ok
03:33:46 <Tigerx1078> i have the whole drive true crypt do the passwords in the browser and email apps
03:34:05 <Tigerx1078> just was wondering is that the best bet to do it like that or what would you suggest
03:34:30 <Espreon> Yeah, I'd really only keep sensitive data in a TrueCrypt store.
03:34:45 <Tigerx1078> ok
03:35:11 <Espreon> Do you really have to deal with Mac OS X and Linux machines?
03:35:29 <Espreon> ... if so, then I don't think it'd work out very well.
03:35:35 <Tigerx1078> ok
03:35:42 <Espreon> ... unless you somehow get Wine/CrossOver on all those machines.
03:37:03 <Tigerx1078> ok i'll try i'll be mainly use mac and linux
03:37:12 <Tigerx1078> and windows maybe at work
03:37:55 <Espreon> Ah.
03:38:02 <Espreon> Then it should be much easier.
03:38:20 <Espreon> ... if you mainly use Mac and Linux at home.
03:38:26 <Tigerx1078> yes
03:39:19 <Espreon> Yeah, 'cause TrueCrypt does work on Linux... and I think it can work on Mac OS X too.
03:39:29 <Tigerx1078> ok
03:39:52 <Tigerx1078> does mac and linux use the same thing for both?
03:40:07 <Espreon> What do you mean?
03:40:30 <Tigerx1078> are they the same as in using portable apps?
03:40:36 <Tigerx1078> for both oses
03:40:48 <Espreon> In that you'd have to use Wine or CrossOVer... or a Windows VM?
03:41:00 <Tigerx1078> i meant for linux and mac
03:41:37 <Espreon> Umm, I'm not sure if I understand.
03:41:44 <Espreon> Elaborate.
03:42:08 <Tigerx1078> ok if i download the linux version from portable apps will that also work on a mac
03:42:38 <Espreon> A portable Linux app.
03:42:40 <Espreon> ... hmmm.
03:42:44 <Espreon> It would not.
03:42:53 <Tigerx1078> ok ty
03:42:56 <Espreon> No problem.
03:42:58 <Tigerx1078> darn
03:43:33 <Tigerx1078> i'll try wine and so forth and see if that works thanks agian
