Hey how you did that??

I'm a linux noob, have no idea about all these.

I want to know the application behind the date system shown on your wallpaper and the dock.

Me too wanna know this. Also does that date which is on the wallpaper changes everyday, or is that a custom made wallpaper ? How do you do that.

Install like you would on a normal hard disk, just choose your USB hdd partition.

On the last step where it shows a summary of what you have selected, there is an advance option at the bottom. Go to advance options and set Grub to install on the USB hdd.

You can boot up on any PC this way. There will obviously be a slight performance decrease since it would run on USB, but you can easily use it as a normal OS.
 
@Dark Star Hey thanks a lot.....!! I've done it...!! :)

Well.....I'm facing problem with TweetDeck. I couldn't find it in Applications>Accessories.

I tried reinstalling. But for the first time it works fine. But after restart it vanishes from the menu. I need to start it from website by clicking "Lauch Tweetdeck". Can anyone solve this problem...??

Another problem is with Empathy IM Client. It doesn't autostart. Each time I need to enter keyring. How to make that automatic??

Thanks Viralbug: i have win xp installed on this laptop. if i install ubuntu on the USB HDD, will Grub modify the windows bootloader in any way?

Basically, what i want is to boot this laptop into ubuntu whenever I want without leaving any trace of it otherwise..
