This solution is for geeks, not your average individual who wants to drop a CD in and have a look. It's meant to help out the smaller distros which have few developers and certainly no time to walk through the Microsoft bureaucracy [1].

Yup, I know, my mention was in the context of it being the method by which Fedora 18 will work on systems with secure boot enabled. The simple solution is don't buy a system with secure boot enabled - if you *must* have Windows 8 I believe you can still install it afterwards, secure boot being enabled is just needed for the logo certification (and hence the M$ marketing dollars) AFAIK. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
