[ubuntu-studio-devel] Possible Tester

Mmm...   I did not make it a point to look at the UEFI bootloader, as my
Gateway NE56R41u came with Win 8.0, originally.
I got fed up with the Win sys the laptop came with and cmpletely turned it
into a Linux system...   But the UEFI...   That has never disappeared!

Thanks!
