Hi, By now everybody has probably heard of the Secure Boot UEFI feature being pushed by Micro$oft onto OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). Between Micro$oft's strong arm tactics and the lack of a backbone at the OEM end we all know where this can lead. The FSF has started a petition to collect "signatures" in an effort to make OEMs aware that there are significant pitfalls ahead. For those that care to run openSUSE and other free and open source software on the hardware they purchase in the future signing this petition is probably a good idea, IMHO everyone in the openSUSE community should sign this ;) http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/statement Later, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead rjschwei@suse.com rschweik@ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
