    So what you want is a fully capable Ubuntu/Linux environment set up on a USB that you can just plug and use on your computer right?

    Basically the steps are simple:

    1. Download your desired ubuntu/linux flavour.
    2. Make a bootable USB drive and install it using Universal USB Installer. You can also download your .iso right from the program itself, if you like.
    3. Make sure you select a big enough persistent file size to store your changes on the USB. So that you don’t lose any data after reboots, etc.
