Hi, I'm looking into buying one of those usb storage devices which fit
onto a keychain sort of things.

http://www.usbflashkey.com/ sounds good.

Does creating fs and mounting usb storage systems require a lot of
tweaking?

No.  Like most of the messages concerning USB Mass Storage devices have
said over the last 2 years, all you need to do is "modprobe
usb-storage", plug the device in, then "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/somewhere".
If you're using a recent distro, the hotplug daemon will take care of
the modprobe command.
