There are some small differences between Toorox XFCE and LITE version, mainly between the included applications, but they are both based on the same Linux kernel and they both feature the same Xfce version.
While the system is booting, all necessary drivers will be included automatically (lshwd). Toorox is only using the memory and an existing swap partition at runtime, so the user’s hard disks won't be modified by default.
All Toorox distributions have really small hardware requirements: i686 CPU (Pentium II and faster), 512MB RAM, and a DVD player.
