Portable1. A term referring to software that is designed to be use on more than one operating system with only minor modifications and recompilation. From I-gloss 2. Pertaining to software that can be ported, or modified to run in another environment. Linux is an example of a portable system. Because all the programming that is hardware-specific is restricted to the kernel, a programmer can port Linux to a new computer system by changing only the kernel. From Linux Guide @FirstLinux |
