Okay, so now I've looked into this a little more I've decided it is absolutely doable, but just too minimalist for my taste.

Very nice and creative idea though! I love how different writer people are in the tools and processed they use. Writing is a creative activity in more than just the resulting content.

Okay! Figured out automounted USBs for global settings now. I've got it creating a Folder in the user's home directory for USBs as well.

Putting a "udiskie" backgrounded run command in the global /etc/profile:

/usr/bin/udiskie -N -F --no-notify-command >/dev/null 2>&1 &

And then right below it, I'll do a (if symlink does not exist, then create it) and have it specific to whichever user is logging on.

if [ ! -L /home/$USER/USBs ]; then ln -s /media/$USER/ /home/$USER/USBs; fi

This works for any given user that logs on. If you try and change users with the "su" command, it doesn't work (not sure how to get the global profile to load when you change users... but its not important).

This is a single user system and the only reason to have the $USER check is because the user sets their own username at installation. This will work for that usecase wonderfully, I believe.
