Bring over a System Rescue CD and a Lubuntu 15.04 live CD to make sure it works (no HD, after all). You can look at /proc/* and lshw to verify that what he says is in there is in there. You can look at /proc/cpuinfo to verify that it has hardware virtualization. If it works with System Rescue CD, a
