Status

Successful installs:

• Fedora: 9
• Ubuntu: 5
• Archlinux: 2
• CentOS: 4

Things learned:

• Hyper-V should be turned off if virtualbox in windows can't install 64-bit guests (windows features)
• Some older HPs rewrite their UEFI boot order on every reboot; use ```efibootmgr -n 00XX``` every reboot (see rc.local)
