Can you specify the factors for your recommendation? Live CD's can be 
installed to a hard disk and works out of the box. That doesnt require 
any broadband connection. Broad connection does not automatically 
translate into systems with DVD. Many work places have restrictions on 
removable disk access (No CD/DVD drivers, USB ports locked etc).

Fedora is included in magazines all over the world too. Does not change 
the fact that Live CD are still very much a good thing for several end 
users and for promotional events.
