Hi,
I did change it back!
I also edit /etc/default/grub to achieve the effect I wanted
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`echo ToriOS || lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo
Debian`
This way the GRUB menu will not be confusing to new users who install
beside Windows (or whatever).  They will install ToriOS and see ToriOS.
That was the entire reason I changed this... so now both issues are solved.
echo ToriOS will not cause any issues.... the worst thing to happen is
an upgrade of GRUB removes these changes... which is not bad
