OSGeo Live in a Virtual Machine (or live booted) - you can show people
almost every app that is a Project and then some + the overview and
quickstart docs for all of them. There's also plenty of sample data and
projects already pre-configured.

FYI version 5.0 will be out in time for Foss4g and will be in everyone's
bag.
