What you're probably talking about is Secure Boot, and if you search for "secure boot linux", you get articles like <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/more-experiments-with-linux-only-uefi-secure-boot-installation-7000014095/" target="_blank">http://www.zdnet.com/more-<u></u>experiments-with-linux-only-<u></u>uefi-secure-boot-installation-<u></u>7000014095/</a> , which say there should be no problems with current hardware.<br>
<br>
(Of course, future hardware may not allow you to disable Secure Boot, and future hardware may refuse to recognize the Redhat-signed bootloader, but we'll have to burn those bridges when we get to them....)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
