Chat transcript from today. My friend is building a new Haswell system to support Windows and Debian. Windows under virtual machine.
I find this hard to believe! (btw I changed the names)

I'm looking at your Z87-WS motherboard. The motherboard "compare" web
page lists Windows 7 and Windows 8 as OSes. I'm planning to use Debian
7.1. Is there any problem using this Linux OS with Z87-WS motherboard?
Here's the referenced page:
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87WS/#specifications
Alternatively, is there a motherboard you'd suggest suited best for
Debian 7.1?

I'm sorry, but we don't support Linux or Debian 7.1 here.

By "we" you mean ASUS?
Fred Thu, 7/25/2013 11:31:41 am
Yes.
