You will often find that you will want to perform a clean installation of your setup, however, this will mean you will have to install everything from scratch. To avoid this, I developed the Pi-Kitchen project (https://github.com/PiHw/Pi-Kitchen), based on the groundwork of Kevin Hill. This aims to provide a flexible platform for creating customized setups that can be automatically deployed to an SD card:

The Pi-Kitchen allows a range of flavors to be configured, which can be selected from the NOOBS menu. Each flavor consists of a list of recipes, each providing a specific function or feature to the final operating system. Recipes can range from setting up custom drivers for Wi-Fi devices, to mapping shared drives on your network, to providing a fully functional web server out of the box, all combining to make your required setup.

This project is in beta, developed as a proof of concept, but once you have everything configured, it can be incredibly useful to deploy fully working setups directly onto an SD card. Ultimately, the project could be combined with Kevin Hill's advanced version of NOOBS, called PINN Is Not NOOBS (PINN), which aims to allow extra features for advanced users, such as allowing operating systems and configurations to be stored on your network or on an external USB memory stick.
