Thanks for these details, Israel :-)

I have another question too (very basic about where to start).

Can I start with (which would you expect to work)

- ToriOS 1.0 live
- ToriOS 1.0 installed
- ToriOS daily live (debian)
- ToriOS daily installed (debian)
- Debian Jessie (stable)
- Debian Stretch (testing)
- Debian Sid (unstable)
- Ubuntu 14.04.1 (trusty kernel)
- Ubuntu 14.04.5 (xenial kernel)
- Ubuntu 16.04.1 (xenial kernel)

and where is it best to start testing (what will be best for testing
what you want us to test)?

Best regards
Nio
