I would think that the Linux Kernel will incorporate some type of
equivalent / better version of this BIOS replacement. <br>

a big fan of UEFI secure boot from the context
of security. I am not a fan that the industry
let MS set the rules. I think form the
perspective of securing your firmware/bios and
making a secure chain boot handoff to an OS with
full disk encryption it will significantly
reduce the shenanigans that can be performed on
your mobile computing devices and even slow down
rootkits for a while.</div>

You should be able to get ubuntu
working with secureboot, but I've
never done a dual boot personally.
Make sure you look at it from the
UEFI perspective. As Stephen also
indicted, you can set to boot in
"legacy mode" too, but that will
break windoze ability to secureboot.<br>

Thank microsoft and their for making
cronie hardware oem's have to
protect their crappy os from
infection (and replacement). I'd
rather just move it to a vm under

A mouse trap, placed on top of your
alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep
after you hit the snooze button.<br>
