An underlooked fact is ISO has became a fundamental word for an OS distribution file (which is meant to be universally compatible and straightforward to deploy).

Another interesting thing: the author mentions boot managers which let you boot from a number of ISOs (see? I don'r even wan to bother saying "disk images" even though HDD images are meant to be supported here) put on a single USB drive but he forgets USB drives with have such managers integrated with the hardware (e.g. Zalman ZM-VE200) - I intend to buy one but who knows if these support non-ISO drive images.
