I suggest placing a link to it here:
http://www.elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMaxDistros
Also, re EFI, GPT is not required, MSDOS partition is also supported. The
more critical element is the FAT32 partition. Some support FAT32 partition
type, others require the EFI type (the FS is the same). Michael's
documentation looks good to me - thanks for writing it all down!
