Well, you actually can put Swap on a USB device if you want to. Some guy wrote a script to do just that, called SwapBoost.sh. I've never tried it, but I have used Swapspace (in the Ubuntu repository) to dynamically allocate swap on demand. You can tell Swapspace where to create swap files by editing its configuration. But heavy I/O like swap is not good for flash drives in the long run ...

PS: ReadyBoost on Windows is not simply swap in the usual sense. It's tuned to cache small random I/O only.
