This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 1 - HP systems can usually be ordered with a localization that affects documentation, keyboards, and other components. Typical Linux distributions are not installed as pre-
localized, but the user can choose a language and keyboard layout during post-installation configuration, or during the "first boot" when the OS comes preloaded on the system.
footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers: "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD (or DVD) for Linux-distribution-name" ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support. Select your language,
choose
Software and Drivers, type z228mt in the Enter my HP model number field, and select Find my product. Under Download options, select Get drivers, software & firmware. HP
Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
footnote 3 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on the listed OSes. For drives that have the Lightscribe functionality, go to www.lightscribe.com for software to enable
the labeling feature.
footnote 4 - Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives. Software RAID is available in most Linux OSes.
footnote 5 - The Z228 can support up to 2 SATA drives.
footnote 6 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 7 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. Newer Linux OSes can format GPT for the boot drive or volume but may
require installation of UEFI boot support. OSes listed can all access GPT-formatted volumes.
