So, this is a test on a real hardware? nice :D

Yes, I think we are using 'scrot', same as Lubuntu.

While I know what you mean, I think other screenshots applications means 
more RAM Usage, etc. We just need to include that on the release notes 
that we are using 'scrot' and the output will be on the home folder or 
maybe as you mentioned, the pictures folders ;)

It is then up to the users to install whatever they like - this is 
ToriOS's Philosophy.

I haven't tested that.

Testing or not, +1 to "lshw". I haven't heard nor used "inxi".

It was harder for you (maybe others too) because we are unable to 
install any application during the Live session AND after we install the 
system. This must be fixed, IMHO.
