Just what it says, I'm trying to find something portable and free that

Thanks!


You have heard of Google but you don't seem to know how to use it. Is
this so?

https://www.google.com/search?q=duplicate+images+finder&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b

It is still free so please use it before asking stupid questions here.
We don't support Linux junkies on Windows newsgroups.Â* they are superior
to all of us here but they still like to ask us before using their
brains to do the research for themselves.

I did Google it rather extensively FIRST, but I OFTEN like to get
opinions from this group and another or two as I find people like Paul
and others generally very helpful and a lot more relevant that general
searching provides.

As for Linux users being "superior", that's quite debatable of course.
I like using it for Internet work, but good old Win 7/10 are still used
for those things best suited to them. For years, I always turned to Win
and to use Photoshop or similar image programs, but recently The Gimp
has made quite a leap forward and I have started sing it more in Linux.

Yup, on Ubuntu as I'm writing now. Win 7/10 are just a power button away.
