Everybody seems Does the fedora payment of $99 to verisign mean that
the computer that could or could not have windows preinstalled will
alow to install fedora and windows but not fedora derivatives?
derivatives would be able to pay their own $99 (one off payment per
distro it would appear) they might have to prove they will use it
responsibly or something, I don't know. Alternatively other distros
could instruct users to turn off secure boot.
Would fedora users then have the hability to easily turn it off?
turn what off?
The ideal bit could be that fedora users could also avoid windows
usrers in the grounds that it's probable source of malwar?
avoiding windows users is an interesting strategy, not sure that would
be easy to implement.
Could linux foundation do the same for the servers? beause they can be
"cracked" in a similar way?
servers generally won't get the secure boot thing. Odd really because it
kind of makes more sense to me in that context.
