This is my Ubuntu 8.10, installed on a 8GB USB memory stick. It has Clearlooks OSX theme and icons and Compiz with the cylinder effect enabled. AWN dock bar is at the bottom of the screen with customized Pidgin and Thunderbird launchers that indicate unread messages.

Some interesting programs installed include those related to network security assessment. Now I can easily plug it in anywhere I go, and use my own set of applications in my choice of environment.

I have booted it on platforms other than those I installed it on and it detects new hardware at boot time. There is just one issue of a lag in programs loading up or when too many are running.
