IMHO that would basically be the same as using compactflash card as
hard drive, which I have tried.
All the difference is that Ubuntu should be configured to do as little
writes to memory card as possible. I do following things:
1. Keep temporary data in RAM
# Edit your /etc/fstab file. Add the following lines.
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

2.Disable Access Time Attributes
# Edit your /etc/fstab. Modify the root partitions settings.
# Add noatime and nodiratime to defaults, keep the rest of line the same.
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 0

3. Change the I/O Scheduler
#This command shows, which scheduler is currently in use
cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

#The one in [] brackets is active
noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]

#"Deadline" is more appropriate for SSDs
echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

4. FIREFOX
Launch Firefox and enter about:config into the URL bar and press enter.
Right click and select New String;
enter browser.cache.disk.parent_directory as the name and /tmp as the
string value.
