I can't seem to find a good guide on the interwebs to put ubuntu on my 4gb USB drive. I already made a liveCD and can install ubuntu and try it but I want to make it persistent, that my files and apps stay in the free space of the USB drive and is consistent. What is the best way to do this?

Yup. Check out unetbootin

http://www.isotousb.com/ (if you've got the iso)

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ (downloads and does it  you)

Universal USB Installer is by far the best method. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

Used UNETBootin before, as well as Universal USB Installer, but as of late I have yet to find anything that tops YUMIUSB in terms of complete features. I think it's mostly because of the way it allows multi-booting from not just Linux Distro's but also ISO Disc Images too.

Oh cool, I'll have to check that out. I was just speaking from my experience 3 years ago, I haven't had to put an OS on a flash drive since then.
