[sf-lug] Linus say no change to Kernel to ease MS signing

[Bobbie Sellers]

     i wrote none of the following but am repeating it for the
informative content.
     I have looked at the URL and it contains some remarks by Linus
Torvalds and some interpretation of his words as well as commentary
from other parties.

The rants of Linux creator Linus Torvalds often become public through
the Linux Kernel Mailing List archive.

The latest example comes from an argument between Torvalds and other
Linux developers over whether the Linux kernel should include code that
makes it easier to boot Linux on Windows PCs. This goes back to
Microsoft requiring that PCs designed to run Windows 8 use UEFI firmware
with the Secure Boot feature enabled. This has complicated the process
of booting Linux on PCs that shipped with Windows 8, but it hasn't
prevented people from doing so. There are workarounds, but some people
are looking for a solution in the Linux kernel itself.
