    Its not very difficult to install Mendeley Desktop on the Ubuntu platform , as Mendeley team was generous enough to provide repository for the Ubuntu desktop.However, you would have to first register at their website (http://www.mendeley.com) , to take full advantage of Mendeley Web.

Carry Your Desktop Anywhere with Portable Apps / Wired How To's

Even the lightest laptops won't fit in your pocket. But these days, you don't need to lug around an entire computer just to get some work done. In fact, you can carry your entire PC desktop on a USB stick and gain access to your favorite applications, browser bookmarks, documents and even your e-mail no matter what computer you sit down in front of.

We're talking about portable apps, the most intelligent way to keep your favorite apps with you without lugging your laptop everywhere. A flash memory stick or an iPod loaded with portable apps is essential for visits to Bangkok internet cafes, grandmas house in Canada, the school library or anywhere you need to go when traveling light is a must.
