Yep, that's the same reason that I installed my debian onto my USB key
several years ago.

Take a look at
Debian Live
http://live.debian.net/
It has the ability to build a live debian on USB/SD, and most
importantly, has only read-only access to the USB/SD. The RW part can be
a file reside on your C: drive (named live-rw). That's what I've been
doing for several years now.

No need to worry about lifetime of USB/SD any more.
