Matthew Garrett Makes Available Secure Bootloader For Linux Distros

TrueSatan writes "Matthew Garrett, formerly of Red Hat, is providing a shim bootloader that will allow installation/booting of secure boot enabled computers. The shim is designed to chain boot GRUB (Grand Universal Bootloader) without the need for a distribution to obtain a key from Microsoft. Garrett asks that further contacts regarding the shim be made to him and not to Red Hat as he no longer works there and they may not have knowledge of the product."

Give it up,BMO is probably a PHB, he does not understand technical stuff, so he just trolls the karmawhoring Slashdot line by writing retarded anti-MS stuff and calling people paid shills. It's useless as trying to explain quantum mechanics to an amoeba.
