A few weeks ago I came across a utility which listed good quality free/open source software and made it easy to install - stuff like Firefox, Open Office, GIMP etc....

...and now I can't find it. Clues gratefully received!

This obviously isn't the one you were looking for, but you might also want to get a Dropbox account and install PortableApps on it. ;)

That's an interesting thought! I made give that one a go to keep stuff synced between computers. Why didn't Google or Microsoft think of something like that? – Ivo Flipse♦ Apr 22 '10 at 19:39
