There are 2 methods can solve it:

1. The easiest way is : use the Desktop Live CD and keep the application 
packages,like Openoffice(you could burn DVDs for them),
when you need to reinstall your system or someone ask a design spin  
disk, just offer him the Live CD and
application packages. Then install a new OS through the Live CD, and 
install applications for your purposes.

2. Customize your Live CD with all of your applications, but it's a big 
topic.
