Actually it is extraordinarily non trivial:

I have an iMac 27.
OpenSuse - does not see the USB at all
Arch - EFI boot and boots sweetly
Ubuntu - does not see the USB - many methods to make USB including 
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
XUbuntu - does see the USB (thats bizare, many checks - it’s true!) but after 
boot ‘cannot find a live filesystem')

Every USB stick works elsewhere even on EFI bios machines :-(
