In pratice, this was a laptop (mine, usually) with a DVD burner and a USB
cable in which people could plug their USB keys. The machine was hidden by
a cardboard sign explaining what they would be getting.

One problem with this setup is that it's quite bulky. The sign was a hassle
to transport (and, sure enough, I broke it at one point). Another was that
this required somebody to operate the laptop. We never experimented giving
usb-creator to the user and telling them to figure it out themselves but
I'm pretty sure the results would be disastrous.

Parinux (the local LUG) has a burning tower (essentielly, a tower with
a DVD-ROM drive and 5 DVD burners stacked on top of each other). I believe
it's only being used once or twice. Again, it's troublesome to carry around
and people much prefer the officel media to pressed DVDs.
