Interesting choice, given your firmly expressed opinions about Ubuntu
in the past.

System -> Administration -> Create USB Startup Disk
It creates a bootable USB image, which behaves similarly to the live
CD, which you can then persist user settings and software installs on.
I have only ever created it from a live CD, so I don't know if it
attempts to copy any settings or additional software from the machine
on which it is created.
Not sure that it is exactly what you want, but it's something.
