Two notes in this regard:

1) If we are going the USB way (which I think is the way to go as many
laptops are removing CD/DVD and we also save some trees in the
meantime), we should look at ways to improve the USB creation experience
and documetnation wrt to the current state. I would make it a priority
to focus on making it specially easy for Windows and Mac OS X users.

2) I would remove the DVD install-only option. Focusing only the
installable Live media. The reason for this suggestion is that it would
remove the amount of media we have to test and release and that it will
reduce that confusing choice for users (if you're new it's hard to
figure out which option is best or whether it matters at all).

It might be worth keeping the DVD somewhere but I wouldn't keep it as a
visible way to install the workstation product.

My two cents :-)
