However, cds are much cheaper to usb drives.

 Live  CD's are good to give a demo to someone who does not want to go
through the process of installing and configuring the application, which is
hard for a layman. For a complex product like asterisk, I would rather get a
live cd, pop it in, get it to work quickly and when I am happy with the
demo, I could go into   the details of installation.

 Ofcourse, for a application which is just straightforward as installing
from a package manager, live cd's are of little use.

I am a power user, but I have seen people using live cd's to just get a hang
of things.

Thanks
