Hi all,
Following on from the recent discussions about UEFI Secure Boot, this
dropped into my Inbox over the weekend. It's a series of three videos
that may or may not help to explain what goes on during installation
of a dual-boot UEFI system with Secure Boot enabled.

My video series on dual-boot with Win8 & Ubuntu 12.10 using UEFI secure
Boot. The Ubuntu-focused segment is in Part 3. It's not exactly
Mythbusters, but I hope it helps dispel a lot of the UEFI Secure Boot
nonsense.

I watched the first of these and looked at the associated website, but I
can't see why I should want to go through all this so that I can run in
Secure Boot mode. The declared purpose of the Secure Boot system is to
protect the end user against malicious code contained within a
supposedly innocent alternative Operating System package. There is no
reason to assume that this is likely to be found in Ubuntu (or afaik any
other) alternative OS package. It's a phantom threat to justify what is
really an attempt to discourage alternative OS as such.
