Note 1: Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make
selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS, similar choices can be made
during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered with a
variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
Note 2: Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives. Software RAID is available in most Linux OSes and can be used with
SATA or PCIe storage devices.
Note 3: Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt ports. Such kernels are likely to be
available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the support with any Enterprise Linux distribution is at the distributor's
discretion.
Note 4: Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution.
Note 5: The Intel® HD graphics works with the in-box frame-buffer drivers. Support for the "native" Intel® driver on v7
processors (Kaby lake) is not available for most release streams as of this edition of the table.
Note 6: HP recommends use of Nvidia driver 375.66 (or newer) on Nvidia graphics options.
Note 7: As of this edition of the table, only basic touch capability was available in most Linux desktop managers and no
desktops are optimized for a satisfactory touch experience.
Note 8: SED drives work with Linux. There is, however, no Linux support available for manipulating encryption settings via the
Opal API.
Note 9: The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with RHEL 7 on this zbook model, starting with RHEL 7.3.
Note 10: The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04, starting with 16.04.1. The one known limitation is that the
audio headphone jack does not work.
Note 11: With Nvidia-based configurations, it is recommended to use the Nvidia closed source driver when using externally
connected displays. It is not currently recommended to use the dock with AMD graphics options at this time.
