ToriOS should work quitewell (debian based will require editing of the
sources.list see below)

Ubuntu trusty will work fine (any kernel)

The PPA is built using 'trusty' because the versions of certain
libraries.  Debian Jessie and Trusty have the same versions.

Ubuntu 16.04 will also require editing of the sources.list file in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Here is a bit of code to do this automagically

this=$(lsb_release -a |grep Codename:)
this="${this/*:}"
this="${this/*[!a-zA-Z]}"
sudo sed -i "s/$this/trusty/g"
"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/israeldahl-ubuntu-torios-$this.list"
sudo apt-get update

This will work to copy/paste to make it work in any of those described
(including trusty... which you wont need to use.

I also recently updated a few things.
Revision 82 now has initial 'icon theme' support though the program
still defaults to the directory view (click on the theme button below to
test it out).
You will have to close and manually restart jwm to test this... this is
on purpose in case it screws things up... It allows me to keep my
~.jwmrc file open in a text editor and copy the content and replace it
if, the program messes up doing it.
It *may not* implement it in the gtkrc/gsettings side yet (not sure) so
it is not working fully.

The menu editor program is much better so far, but it is far from
complete.  It is already as good/better than the original version.

Those are the two new changes I added since I last e-mailed
