Ubuntu

[Michael Butash]

I think Stephen's spell check meant UEFI not Jedi, but his star-wars 
propensities won.

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.

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 linux until it can be jettisoned later.
