    Status: Open => Answered

Adam McDaniel proposed the following answer:
There is no harm in keeping your copy of ubuntu on an SD card and
booting off it it when needed. It may be a little slower than if it were
installed locally, but it will work.

However, you'll soon notice that any chances you make to your Ubuntu
setup will not be kept when shutting down. It is possible to convert the
ISO image on your SD into a "Persistent Live CD" (or, in the Eeepc's
case, a "Persistent Live SD").

There are several sites that explain how to do this. I just did a quick google search and found
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent

These instructions appear specific to earlier versions of Ubuntu, but
they may work for v8.10 (Hardy).
