Can you install Ubunta to a USB drive? So it is installed to a USB as you would install it to a hard drive.

Yes, you can. You just have to point the Ubuntu installer to the USB drive manually during the installation by choosing "something else". (Keep in mind you can't install from a USB stick to itself)

HOWEVER, I would not recommend it. It will be slow to start up, and may perform excessive writes, eventually causing the USB drive to fail.

Rather, I suggest creating a "live" USB stick with "persistence."
