Let's say you pick a GNOME-based system as the configuration you build your system from, then you can build a (limited) Live CD from that. I've identified a number of limitations over the years, but for simple usecases the resulting system would work. Another option you have right nowm is to download the image (could even be the qemu image) and install one of the system configurations that come with it into a virtual machine like qemu. Our general .iso can be written to a flash disk with 'dd' or even burned to a CD/DVD (a feature that was introduced some time in the last 12 months).
