Hi Ali,
The precise version has the bug for network-manager in the Live ISO.
I have been busy fixing the bugs we can fix in OBI, and the Software 
installer programs.
I have tried a few ways to fix the network-manager bug but have not had 
success.  We have come across this bug in precise a few times, and have 
gotten it to disappear, but I am not entirely sure how it goes away or 
what is causing it.
The Debian version has none of those issues, has more modern software 
and is supported for 4 more years.
So since you want to release ToriOS this month, this is our best candidate.
If you like I can build one from Xenial soon, and have a Ubuntu flavour, 
but it will not support PAE, unless we build our own kernel.  Nio has 
stated we most likely do not need PAE support, mainly just a kernel flag 
to support most computers.

Xenial is quite similar to Debian, and should work fairly easily.  I 
have tested many of our programs in Xenial already and they are working 
well.
