Since providing tech support is important keeping to a LTS version of Ubuntu as a standard package may be desirable. IT support can test new versions of OS and apps and upgrade the ISO and recommend planned upgrades for existing users to maintain software consistency across the OSE users.

Different methods of distribution are possible and it may be desirable for users to help provide some with P2P bit torrent sync distribution. If the installer/Live USB becomes larger than ideal certain media libraries could be separately distributed using cloud services or an app like Bit Torrent Sync for large folders like libraries of 3D CAD or video documentation editing.

Also since the installer or live USB device includes at least some libraries and OSE documents how big is it currently? Running from a Live USB stick may have speed limitations that reduce user productivity so encouraging or offering a Virtual Box Disk may be useful if some users are unable to install directly. If there are no impediments to running the apps in a VM it could offer a further layer of standardization by shifting some compatibility issues to the VM software layer, but may also add tech support complexity if it fails.
