Summary:
The documentation exhibits a subtle Windows bias. It references provisioning in Hyper-V (a Windows technology) before VMware, uses 'time.windows.com' as the default NTP server, and only mentions NTLM (a Windows authentication protocol) for proxy authentication. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and Linux-specific tools or patterns are not discussed.
Recommendations:
- Present VMware and Hyper-V provisioning instructions in parallel or mention VMware first in some instances to balance platform order.
- Include Linux-friendly NTP server defaults (e.g., pool.ntp.org) alongside 'time.windows.com'.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux-based authentication methods for proxies (e.g., Basic, Digest) if supported.
- Clarify that the device and web UI are accessible from any OS/browser, and provide screenshots or notes relevant to Linux users where applicable.
- If command-line or scripting is referenced in future sections, ensure both PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux) examples are provided.
