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

[maestro]

^ i am frequently confused as to why beings don't 'wipe' the hard drive
completely before installing whatever flavor linux they crave when not
wanting to run windows on another partition of the same box...

^ 1. it wipes the hard drive of all jankee windows files and 'crap'

^ 2. you can run a piece of software (forget name in this moment and some
see as overkill) that is open source and 'scrubs' the hard drive completely
of everything...

^ 3. when you install the linux on the 'naked' drive your machine loves
you, rolls on its back and awaits a tummy rub...
