Hello, I've been following news about the release of "UEFI secure boot" by Microsoft which according to earlier reports means that Linux based OSes won't be able to run on "UEFI secure boot" certified machines. Now am reading that the Linux foundation sort of came up with a work around and so on! My questions; #1. Why would MS come with "UEFI secure boot" and why should PC vendors play along? #2. How do i know a PC is "UEFI secure boot" certified before buying it? #3. How do i run my linux distro on a "UEFI secure boot" certified machine assuming currently only windows runs on them?
Thanks in advance. -- David Okwii, Technology innovator/catalyst, analyst and blogger, Senior Editor for the TechPost, Tech Columnist for ColuredZebra, Systems & Solutions Administrator for Cured Ltd, Mobile(default): +256-791-040-262, Mobile(other): +256-778-706-301, Website: w <http://oquidave.blogspot.com>ww.techpost.ug LinkedIn:http://www.linkedin.com/in/oquidave Twitter: http://twitter.com/oquidave Christ in me the Hope of Glory(Col.1:27)
