Run with Ubuntu in a thumb drive

I have a 2 GB micro sd card, and a compatible usb reader for it... Was just thinking a day, if I could load an OS in it ?
And guess what, stumbled on to this nice article on making a bootable usb drive for ubuntu.

It just sounds amazing to see how technology is growing. Gone are the days of floppy disks, and then CD ROMs which are difficult to carry in a small pocket. A usb drive of few gigs can change the life :)..
