*I heard about the UEFI Secure Boot feature that might impair installing an
alternate OS (Linux) or prevent the use of Dual Boot.  Supposedly it would
be a part of the motherboard hardware and prevent ANY changes to the boot
sector.   Supposedly it would prevent root-kits as there would be no way to
get around it.  Has anybody heard more about this and what would the Ubuntu
community do about this?*
