Regarding Live Distros, Knoppix has a "to ram" option, where it copies the compressed file system to ram, and then the media can be removed.
I can't use that on my system because I only have 1gb ram.
Knoppix can create a swap file on a windows volume. (and use another system's swap partition) I don't want my users to mess up their windows disks. Yes, they can mount them and write to them, but I don't want accidents.
A solution would be to split the compressed filesystem into two parts. one that gets loaded into ram, and another that stays on the liveusb drive.
/bin
/root
/etc
(maybe a few of the core applications, like xwindows, and some sort of alert programs, and maybe cheat with a web browser in there so it loads quickly)
and then another with all the rest.
If the system volume gets yanked, a program should pause everything... like a pause for hibernation. Hopefully the programs will be able to deal with a minor glitch. If they can't it's a bug.
Then a nice big alert should show, REINSERT USB DRIVE TO BEGIN DATA RECONSTRUCTION, SYSTEM SUSPENDED, DATA IS LIKELY CORRUPTED
