For some circumstances, live USB are even better especially if there's no optical drives available.
Choose one: - Download a 4GB dvd iso and burn it, then install on five real hardware. Each takes 20~40 mins to install. - Download a 700MB cd iso and burn it, then boot on five real hardware. Each takes usually less than 5 mins to boot. It's always a good thing to have different ways to use/install a distribution, and people can choose the way which suits their needs.
