With the *buntus family, you can have a current LiveCD with the use of a 
USB stick.

Formatting a usb stick with the "casper" label allows to boot the liveCd 
with the casper option.

"This enables you to install, boot and run Ubuntu from USB. When booting 
Ubuntu in persistent mode, it uses a "casper-rw" partition to save your 
changes back to the drive, restoring them on each boot."

That way, you can keep your software updated, and you can even have new 
software added.
