1. ToriOS will be based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Mini ISO with NON-PAE Kernel by 
default and will be an LTS system.
2. There will be only few packages by default and the user has 100% freedom 
to choose, download and install the package he/she needs, wants and/or 
desire. ToriOS will work out-of-the-box with the minimal possible working 
system. It is for the user to decide what system to have based on ToriOS.
3. Old machines with NON-PAE CPU will not go to trash yet. ToriOS will be 
the system to help these machines to breathe new life.
4. RAM Usage will be as minimal as possible - the target is to create a 
system that is using less RAM than Lubuntu (and other distributions).
5. ToriOS will have two options when it comes to the default installer. We 
are interested to go for OBI. Ubiquity, as everyone may know, needs more 
than 256MB RAM at the best cases and sometimes, it requires even more.
6. ToriOS has no plans for now to use zram-config by default.
7. More Technical Information can be found here.
