I believe that is still Intel's plan. However, as happens often, people are confusing UEFI and Secure Boot. UEFI is a replacement for the ages-old BIOS - Secure Boot is an extension to UEFI to create a "trusted" (for whatever that may mean) boot chain to get to the OS. You can have UEFI without having Secure Boot enabled (that's what I do on my systems). -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list [email protected] https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
