I have deployed both SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE on the minnowboard with no issues. I even built a cluster with them a few years ago and ran Linpack. https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/sles-12-hpc-cluster-minnowboard-max/

I could install freebsd without problems, and performance looks great so far too. I am getting a second minnowboard with msata drive for doing some more linux experiments. interestingly, the msata drive was not recognized by the debian USB installer. i will need to understand what is wrong there. Also, i am curious if I can switch msata drives across minnowboards.

I was basically stuck in the UEFI shell, only now seeing the fs0: command to try booting from the new drive. b) Instead of working with a USB flash drive, the SATA drive option sounds interesting. Yet, I can't quickly see what cables I need, esp. for powering the SATA drive. Anyone has pointers here? Thanks a lot!
