Here are a few things you may need for back to school. This includes:
-PortableApps
-moka5, a portable Virtual Machine
-StartForce, an operating system on the web
-Palary, an online web browser (Basically an advanced, free, and no-advertising proxy that looks like a browser)
-Toucan, for encryption
-Eraser, for secure file deletion
-Command Prompt Portable, for backdoor access to cmd
-Pidgin, for IM
NOTE: This does not include conventional proxies, and I’m not even going to mention meebo.

If you have a thumb drive, then happy days! PortableApps has many programs that will aid you in getting around website blocks, hiding files, and gaining access to other restricted abilities; all of them are made to go on your flash drive.
7-zip is a program for compressing and decompressing archived files (useful if you download a lot)
Command Prompt is a backdoor to accessing cmd. If you do not know what this means, you probably don’t need it.
Erase will permanently wipe data from your computer. On windows PC’s, any file which is deleted can be recovered, but if you use Eraser, it can’t.
Toucan will encrypt your files. It has other functions too, but I won’t go into that.
Pidgin is a multi-network chat client. Put simply, you can have multiple accounts on AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc.
StartForce is an operating system that you access via the internet. It can be used to get around web blocks, as well as host files. I’m sure you can find other uses too.
Moka5 is a portable virtualization porgram. It uses a tweaked version of VMWare player to do its task. It is fairly simple to use, but the help section is, well, helpful. Here is a Wikipedia page explaining what virtualization is. Currently moka5 is in free beta. It will not necessarily remain free when it launches for real, but here’s hoping.
Aug 27, 2007 8:36 am - StartForce is an operating system that "plays" in your web browser. You can upload files, play games, browse the web, write documents, spreadsheets, play audio, view PDF’s, movies, pictures, flash.
Also: Edit spreadsheets, presentations (similar to powerpoint, but a different program) and text.
I am by no means an SF guru, and I have very little experience with it, but it seems like a very powerful tool.
I have not done extensive testing on it, either, so I don’t know if it will accept other programs. I would assume access is limited and subject to review to avoid someone making spambots with it.
Aug 27, 2007 8:42 am - It also has an IM client. I would not call it a full-fledged Operating System, but I wouldn’t call what the schools give you that complete either.
