My concerns are mostly related to lack of system resources: flash memory for the filesystem and ram.
I was pointing to the two problems together and to some hypothesis for the solutions.
I know you meant to talk in a specific way (and in a broader sense) about software installation on different storage media.
Anyway, It is possible to install software on the MMC.
A clean and easy way to do this is IMHO necessary.

Try the swapfile, it makes this tiny wonderful device a lot more powerful.

I don't get it, how swap is related to installing software on extra storage?

Also, I want to install software not only on MMC, but on network
shares and have them visible automatically. Imagine that I want my
"program-that-I-just-use-at-home" to be on a NFS/SMB share at home, so
when I connect it will be available. When I'm at work, it'll just
vanish and no space is wasted.
