Israel,
Good news. Thank you for doing this.
I hate to throw more ideas at you, but this is what this email entails.
If we are going to stick with Debian, we should focus on reducing the size of the ISO to fit the CD. But if Ali gets permission to use Ubuntu and redistribute it, we might not have to worry. Or perhaps like Nio has recommended, ToriOS can remain just a script. We can focus on making documentation for that script. But then that leaves the problem with 12.04 LTS being unsupported after this year (and April is soon).
Couldn't we support non-PAE machines with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?
This thread suggests that we can build our own kernel: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=105200
So then, why not support Ubuntu 16.04 LTS when it comes out for ToriOS rather than 12.04 LTS? Otherwise we could follow Debian's stable release cycles (which generally takes longer).
Thoughts?
Sam
P.S. I'm going to try building the ToriOS ISO tonight, so I can start helping with development and the documentation of the script rather than the QA of the operating system. Hopefully after documenting what the user can do, we can get more developers involved in bug squashing.

Hi everyone,
I have a Debian based ToriOS.
So far almost everything is the same... of course it was a bit trickier
to create the base OS (and the live OS)
But... we can rebase easily on Debian now if we need.
I updated the ISOmaker Scripts, and think it should work fine. I have
not completely tested this out yet. The screenshot is a VM that I will
be converting into the base OS tarball soon.
It is a bit too large at this point, but if we need a DVD sized image to
avoid legal issues I am ok with that, though I think honestly we can
trim things down quite a bit... as this was my first test to get things
working.
Of course if the Ubuntu IP thing is worked out, we can rebuild the
precise version (aka ToriOS '1.0')
If not we have another candidate inline for ToriOS 1.0.
Either way this goes, we can still move forward
