Caltrans is preparing to make some fixes to the Posey Tube



The important thing to remember is that the Linux installation will have added itself to the boot list: you just need to be able to get to that list to boot it.Meanwhile, Caltrans is preparing to make some fixes to the Posey Tube that could make commuting it a little easier for pedestrians and cyclists.Laura Pomerene, vice president and marketing director for First National Bank and Trust  was among the beta testers for the new tools. The simplest way to do that is to use the BIOS Boot Selection option, which is activated by pressing a special key during the power-on or reboot process. That "special key" varies between systems,This year happens to be the release of updates  to all of our standards. I have seen Escape, F9 and F12 used on some of my systems, and I'm sure there are others.Our visa procedures and processes are designed to address national security concerns at every stage of the  application process.When you press it, the Windows boot process will be interrupted and you will get a list of available operating systems - probably Windows 8 and Linux. I personally don't care for this option because I don't like to have to "race" with the boot process to make sure that I press the Boot Select key in time,The Revel Systems iPad point-of-sale solution is built with speed, security and accessibility in mind. and if I am distracted or too slow then I have to go all the way through Windows boot and then just immediately reboot to get back to the Boot Selection menu. 

But a lot of people don't seem to mind it, and it certainly is an option which requires a minimum of fiddling and fighting with stubborn BIOS configurations. One way that this can be made a bit easier is to go into the BIOS setup and choose a start-up delay, many systems will allow you to set anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds of delay before Windows actually boots, thus giving you a lot more time to press the magic key.The third "simple" possibility is to enable 'Legacy Boot' in the BIOS configuration, and just ignore the whole UEFI issue. 

This is not an option that I personally prefer, in part because I am stubborn and in part because as Adam Williamson explained to me some time ago there are some functional advantages to UEFI boot. But it certainly is a viable option, and strictly in terms of getting Linux installed and booting it might actually be the absolute simplest solution.The only problem that I have seen with this option is that some systems make it difficult to enable Legacy Boot, either the option is well hidden in the BIOS configuration, or you actually have to set a BIOS password before they will let you change it. I have heard that there might be some systems which don't have Legacy Boot support at all, but I have never seen one like that.
