dd is a dangerous tool. You get the device name wrong and you might 
destroy your entire hard disk content. And it is easy to get the name 
wrong: in my computer, device names change from boot to boot, the moment I 
plug an external usb disk.

The other thing is that other distros produce a special image for usb 
sticks, in ext3/3 format, not an iso, which is RO. This may only be 
useful for installation.
