=== Shuttleworth on Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, and the UEFI problem ===

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, ZDNet, explores the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) replacement for BIOS issue with regard to Linux support by reviewing Red Hat’s solution and then sharing comments from Mark Shuttleworth about the approach for Ubuntu. He notes that Shuttleworth is not happy with the current approaches and is quoted as saying “Secure Boot retains flaws in its design that will ultimately mandate that Microsoft’s key is on every PC (because of core UEFI driver signing). That, and the inability of Secure Boot to support multiple signatures on critical elements means that options are limited but we continue to seek a better result.”

Ubuntu targets the mainstream

Tom Henderson, Network/IT World, reviews Ubuntu 12.04 and reports that it is “a much improved product that spans desktops, servers and the cloud in a bid to become the cross-platform mainstream product that Apple's Mac OS might have been.” Henderson covers the improvements to the Unity interface, Ubuntu server cloud support, improvements to server deployment, MaaS and Virtualization.

Shuttleworth on Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, and the UEFI problem

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, ZDNet, explores the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) replacement for BIOS issue with regard to Linux support by reviewing Red Hat’s solution and then sharing comments from Mark Shuttleworth about the approach for Ubuntu. He notes that Shuttleworth is not happy with the current approaches and is quoted as saying “Secure Boot retains flaws in its design that will ultimately mandate that Microsoft’s key is on every PC (because of core UEFI driver signing). That, and the inability of Secure Boot to support multiple signatures on critical elements means that options are limited but we continue to seek a better result.”
