An usb drive is smaller and less fragile then a cd so it's a better choice when you are very mobile. It also has the advantage of having a writeable home directory. You can easily add or remove programs, download drivers (on another pc if nessecary). You can even use FAT so you can add files on a windows machine. I always have an usb drive with Ubuntu with me for when my or any other pc fails. With it, you can preform miracles ;-) Ward
