However, not all Linux kernel/distros installers are equal and not all of them will work. Centos 7 will, Debian does, an older version of sabyon did ( newer not tested by me) fedora 22 did. The first version of centos 7 did NOT but version like 1407 or some such did/do. Google your poison and nuc. I like the New Unit of Compute, but I think I would like the Future Unit of Compute more.</p>

Ohhhhhhh!<br>
<br>
That lets me back in. I thought it was one of these new, Windows10<br>
certificate "secure boot off-switch is optional" mobos, lacking a secure<br>
boot off-switch.<br>
<br>
You don't know whether the NUC can also accommodate MBR boots, do you?<br>
All other things being equal, when I install Linux on a computer whose<br>
root partition drive is less than 2TB, I go MBR every chance I get.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
