<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br></div></div></blockquote><div>Yeah, makes a lot of sense from this perspective to have a live usb stick. However, cds are much cheaper to usb drives.<br><br> 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.<br>
