OK

There are hardly any non-pae computers left. The boot option forcepae in 
Ubuntu 14.04 will provide a solution for Pentium M and Celeron M CPUs, 
and in the very few (if any) remaining cases, we can offer ToriOS-Debian.

I suggest that ToriOS 2.0 will have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 'Trusty' 
version instead of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise). I agree that there should 
be a Debian Jessie version too.
