hello, so first and foremost, i dont use linux much on the reg. but i like messing with it. that said, im attempting to make an 'image' at least as im used to calling it with OSX/windows. i have a laptop that i have setup the way i want, and i want to know if theres a way to make that into an install itself, and just have all the programs/ setting be there once its finished installing. is there a way to do that?

yes there is. This will take you some time and you have to re-do it for every new version https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization

I think what is faster for you is to ask apt to list all installed apps, and then copy this list to a new install; then copy your home folder. Your home folder has hidden files & folders that hold all your customisations.
