EMTEC makes a a range of USB sticks with a preloaded suite of apps:
http://www.emtec-int.....gamme=M200 EM
http://www.emtec-int.....gamme=M400 EM
http://www.emtec-int.....gamme=S400 EM


The product pages do not provide for a downloadable version of the "misterious" EMDESK Software Suite, a collection of Freeware/Open Source apps.

You have to "dig" in "Press Releases":
http://www.emtec-int...categorie=stmob

to find out that there is a dedicated site:
http://www.em-desk.com/en/

Where you can get the "suite". :cheers:

So, notwithstanding the "beware of the leopard" approach :cheers::

"But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months."

"Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything."

"But the plans were on display ..."

"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."

"That's the display department."

"With a flashlight."

"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."

"So had the stairs."

"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"

"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."



The end result is something you can use abuse and peruse freely :cheers::
