I see that there are many ways to install RHEL 6.1 on my new R710:
  1. Dell Systems Management Tools & Documentation media (SMT)
  2. Dell Systems Build & Update Utility media
  3. Straight from UEFI or BIOS
and
  A. UEFI mode
  B. BIOS mode

What are the advantages/consequences/comparison of each.  Any advice on what
to do or not to do?

 If I choose UEFI over BIOS, will I be able to boot other media (CD,
DVD, USB key) in
the future easily, or should I just stick with BIOS?

I assume that I'd use SBUU instead of SMT if I had a large number of systems to
install, otherwise I should use SMT or just straight from UEFI or
BIOS.  Correct?

I'm looking for advice.
