None in particular. Past GNOME booths have distributed Ubuntu, Fedora,
OpenSuse and Foresight liveCDs. Plus, the GNOME preview LiveCDs which we
made for a while were also based on Foresight.

I would recommend Fedora or Ubuntu as easy-access GNOME-based
distributions. In certain situations it might make sense to distribute
Vinux, Debian or GNUsense, depending on the public.

One thing you might want to consider is if you want to give away LiveCD's with a 'vanilla' GNOME or don't 
mind having a heavily modified GNOME... And if you want to give demo cd's with GNOME Shell already or not. 
And if you care about GNOME branding or not. Eg a LiveCD with vanilla GNOME and GNOME branding and the choice 
between GNOME Shell vs a CD which ships a heavily customized GNOME and little GNOME branding - I'd go for the 
former. Not saying there is much choice in that as you'd have to probably create them yourselves... The KDE 
dudes did that once with a 'Plasma Netbook reference implementation', something like that would be nice to 
have, right?
