Sure not before openSUSE 12.3. The way UEFI+SecureBoot will impact other than Windows 8 operating systems will be certainly known after the next 6 months. The ARM architecture is the critical one (Windows Logo Certification specification forbid to disable SecureBoot ). Other like x86 architecture might be flexible (including a way to disable the SecureBoot option).
In the meantime, another option than Fedora+RedHat have decided is not visible shortly.
The more we know about the UEFI+SecureBoot and boot requirements process will increase our chances to propose another approach.
Canonical / Ubuntu just announced their approach. I don't remember the details, but it was different from Red Hat / Fedora's and involved replacing GRUB2 as the bootloader because the GPL wouldn't allow what the Ubuntu team proposes. Personally, I think the fewer GPL components a system has, the better, but I'm not in a position to impose that on others. ;-) -- Twitter: http://twitter.com/znmeb Computational Journalism Server http://j.mp/compjournoserver Data is the new coal - abundant, dirty and difficult to mine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
