Also, here's a link to one of the more useful articles I've read about Windows8, Secure Boot, and Linux recently:<br>
<a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/149254/if-i-buy-a-computer-with-windows-8-and-secure-boot-can-i-still-install-linux/" target="_blank">http://www.howtogeek.com/149254/if-i-buy-a-computer-with-windows-8-and-secure-boot-can-i-still-install-linux/</a><br>
(I don't necessarily buy all of the propositions that the author puts forth in the article, but his factual information about the way Secure Boot and OSes work is informative.)<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>

I'd recommend you also take a look at the PLUG YouTube video of the talk given by Jeremy Kerr from Ubuntu, he provides a good technical overview of UEFI and Ubuntu.<br>

Sorry I don't have the URL to hand...<br>

Hi Perth Linux Guru's,<br>
I have recently bought a Win 8 notebook PC and want to install Linux on it<br>
so that I can have the choice of using Windows or Linux as the OS. I<br>
understand that this is not very straight forward as Win has a security set<br>
- up which needs to be turned off and my research on the net has not been<br>
conclusive. I have not used linux yet but would like to. Can you pse<br>
advise on this subject?<br>
Kind Rgds,<br>
Fred<br>
