Hello,
Thanks very much for including me in the mailing list for this. Since
I work nights during the week I have not been able to attend the
meetings but if meetings are held on the right Tuesday (think that
they are Tuesdays) that I don't work I will be attending more.
This question sort of relates to me wanting to set up my new ASUS
ROG series laptop to be both LINUX and Windows. Initially, I am
going to try running LINUX on a thumb drive.
Reason for Linux is that I do not trust Windows for accessing the
internet but need to have Windows to run the Adobe software that
I hope to learn.
Thomas

The real question is which one ESXi supports. (Most likely it will be
the Intel RAID configuration.)

In most cases, UEFI isn't worth the trouble. If you can just disable it
on the motherboard and boot from good, old-fashioned BIOS, you probably
should.
