One thing: I wouldn't advise people live usb as erasing it later demands cleaning usb partition table with dd after looking where is device and unmounting on root or after sudo. Not good for newbies, as if they would chose wrong mount point they might fuck data on hard drive instead. Dvd is cheaper.

Unless they agree not using those usb for other purposes later (of course they could install other system on that USB,but using it for data would be harder). Then everything be fine except one usb less.

It is possible to have 2 or more systems on one computer,but it is again messing with partitons manualy not recomended for newbies not knowing what they do.

Also: LMDE or MXlinux have smaller repository. That's why I would advise rather Debian or Mint or Ubuntu. On liveDVD - Doesn't matter,but if you installed it on hard drive it is self-limitation. Of course average linux app might be not as good as commercial one costing hundreds of dollars,but this tools are really powerful.
