If in doubt you can check what distro to pick here
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

This only goes to demonstrate how flexible Linux is when it comes to how things may be done. On boot, I do net installations. practically all the time, iso. I agree with Rolf on this one; if a distribution doesn't give me that choice, I acquire its whole DVD and install from it. One CDs, in my opinion, make excellent live demonstrations but poor installation material. It would be ideal for new users to utilise the dvd since I don't believe they would be tech-savvy enough to use the iso approach or the net installation way. That way they have fewer installation-related concerns to deal with.
