Okay. In that case just install to USB like described above. Do updates to system like you would on normal hard drive installation. Then install extra software you want on it. As long as hardware on all machines does not require proprietary drivers the USB should work on all of them. Over time, run the Update Manager occasionally just as you would a hard drive installation. You should be fine.
P.s. colinkx250 posted the video link while I was typing this response. Just took a quick look and it is good video showing install steps. Only thing to be careful of is to make sure that the "device for boot loader installation" is set to the USB. In the video above it showed that as pre-filled correctly with the USB; but in my experience it usually pre-fills with the internal hard drive designated. Make sure you check that. Other than that, the video shows exactly what you need.
