I use a desktop computer and my wife has her own laptop, both running Xubuntu. Until recently I used a laptop for testing and also as a standby computer if needed. Unfortunately my laptop died the other day. (It was given to me some years ago and it was not new then, so it is not worth the bother of trying to sort it out.)<br>
<br>
So I have been looking around for a replacement. I have found a company which will supply computers to your spec, including laptops, in all cases without any OS if required. So far so good.<br>
<br>
However when I asked I discovered that, in order to check the machine before despatch, they will install Windows 8 on to it. Anyone who has asked for no OS to be included will receive the machine with a 30 day trial version of Win 8 installed. Otherwise they will get a full, paid for, version. In either case this means that secure boot will be turned on.<br>
<br>
I was planning to disable secure boot and then install Xubuntu 13.04, removing Win 8 at the same time. Now, I have read somewhere that Xubuntu 13.04 is UEFI ready. Is that correct? If so then I won't need to disable secure boot.<br>
<br>
Any UEFI experts out there?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any information on this,<br>
