This is not for public testing.  Simply download the ISO file (or
both).  Open Virtual Box, and make a new Ubuntu machine, make the ISO
file the IDE device as well as Live CD, and install.
Then remove the ISO as the IDE device and test.
It is a very standard setup in Virtual Box.  If you have used Virtual
Box before, then this is very simple to try.  If you haven't I can maybe
upload a VM that you can try, though I'd like to tweak it so it seems
more like ToriOS first.
I have been tweaking JWM on my running system to get a theme similar to
the Website.  (same colors, etc..)

We do need to choose some art related things somewhat soon (Icon theme,
fonts, colors, etc...)  JWM is rather particular about the way the icons
are searched out, and used (no SVG)
