Yes, you can make a bootable USB stick and run jaunty without installing it. If you want, you can install it to your hdd too.

It doesn't matter but to make a bootable disk, you have to download the desktop edition.

I realize unetbootin is popular, but why does everyone go for that when there's a native Ubuntu solution?

In 8.10, it's System >Administration>"Create a USB Startup disk"

In 8.04 simply install it:

sudo apt-get install usb-creator
