Hmmm ... I'm going to argue against the credit card sized CD for two
reasons:

1) more expensive than a regular CD (like, 3x in quantity).
2) incompatible with 50% of Combo Drives.

Also, having used Robert's DSL-based distribution last time, one bit of
feedback we got was that the desktop was kind of ... minimalist. This is
a piece of advertising; it should look good when users boot it up. So I'd
push for something like Knoppix or Kubuntu, or something else eye-candish.
