Thought I would repost here as it may be useful to some Electrum users and it would be great to get some feedback
I've recently been playing around with Ubuntu with the aim of developing user-customizable live CD/DVDs/USB disks.
It works as follows:
1. User downloads(or builds) and burns a liveDisk .iso image.
2. User boots it up. Adds software. Creates encrypted wallets. Makes it pretty.
3. User 'reproduces' the system as a new .iso and writes it to CD/DVD or USB disk

I currently have a very basic bitcoin livedisk version which can be downloaded (768mb) here

I also have a GUI-less, Bitcoin-tool-less, bootstrap.iso at 387mb, here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4kVxAbllVkIQWlTbmF2UGxRUFE/edit?usp=sharingOf course, everything can also be built manually. The build process is as follows:
Building the bootstrap.iso1. Install Vagrant
www.vagrantup.comgit clone git://github.com/willish/livedisk_bootstrap.git .
cd build_amd64 # or build_i386
vagrant up
Building the liveDisk-bitcoin distro1. Find a decent sized USB flash disk (8gb would do nicely). **This will be completely wiped!**
2. Boot the 'bootstrap.iso`. Select 3rd boot option (with flash storage)
3. `sudo livedisk-init-flash /dev/sdX` (where /dev/sdX is replaced by the path to your USB device)
4. `sudo livedisk-install bitcoin` (and wait a while!)
5. Reboot and again select 3rd boot option
6. Customize your distro!
Save your modified distro to a new .iso1. `sudo livedisk-reproduce flash` to make your customized liveDisk .iso
