Just looking into this, before I start I have multiple questions.

I'm going to install this on a ThinkPad t410, from what I've seen intel is a pain to set up?

What are my options as in version I can run? (Where can I find a chart or guide for this)

How is hardware compatibility with controllers and such?

Can I do all this from a window or Linux PC if I have the image?

Edit the think pad has a 128g SSD 8gb ram.
