No. A Linux distro that can boot on a PC/laptop that has secure boot enabled would necessarily have obtained a key from Microsoft. That would enable it to boot. Note that I said "you cannot install..." You can very definitely boot Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit on a PC/laptop on which secure boot is enabled.
Note that not all flavours of Ubuntu support secure boot at present: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer#QuantalQuet... Fedora 18 is planned to support secure boot when it (finally) appears, and Matthew Garrett finally has an MS signed copy of shim which any distribution can use to set up secure boot support for their distro. http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/20303.html cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
