Secure Boot Coming To SuSE Linux Servers

darthcamaro writes "UEFI Secure Boot is a problem that only desktop users need to worry about right? Well kinda/sorta/maybe not. SeSE today is releasing SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 which will include for the first time — support for UEFI Secure Boot. Apparently SUSE sees market demand for Secure Boot on servers too. Quoting Matthias Eckermann, Senior Product Manager at SUSE: 'Our market analysis shows that UEFI Secure Boot is a UEFI extension that does not only cover desktops, but might very well also be deployed and even required on server systems going forward.'"

    This will enable them to control all of our computing hardware from their centralized corporate mind-control chambers.

    Soon they will make us intolerant of anyone not like us, and we will become flag-waving, hamburger-munching, Coke-swilling droids who cheer whenever the poor, brown or leftist people are slaughter by automated drones.
