No to Ubuntu. The machine requires a 32-bit EFI boot, and Ubuntu does not support this option. Yes to the latest Debian -- I think. At least I can get a boot from a USB flash drive running Debian because they do support the 32-bit EFI. I haven't yet installed it because there is no reliable way to get an image backup of the disk. (Tried Windows 10, Acronis, AEOMI) and I'd like be be able to restore to factory settings. Steps: 1) Disable secure boot in BIOS 2) Use 32-bit version of Linux debian-8.2.0-i386-kde-CD-1.iso 3) Use Rufus to create your flash drive. Select GPT partition scheme. If you are bold enough to destroy the Windows image, please reply to this so that I know. Thanks, Tom

It'll run Linux, but not a lot of storage space in 32G if you want to make it dual boot.
