How am I supposed to know whether my PC or Mac is USB bootable??  I guess it's related to BIOS stuff, not to OS.

Anybody any hint here?  It's important because this very distribution is supposed to be portable, so possibly launched on somebody else's computer, right?

Your PC-BIOS should be able to tell you whether it can boot from a USB device. Enter the BIOS and look for a section called boot or something similar.

@ AmiSake

Thanks.  

But according to this (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/testing-your-system-for-usb-boot-compatibility/) having a USB boot BIOS option is not enough.

"This test does not guarantee that your computers hardware is supported with a particular Linux distribution"

Damn!
