@aaron44126 or, a possibly better option would be the ability to add your own trusted keys to the secure boot mechanism so that Linux and other OS's could take advantage of the secure boot functionality.
From SJVN's post....
"Between these two requirements, any ARM device that ships with Windows 8 will never run another operating system unless it is signed with a preloaded key or a security exploit is found that enables users to circumvent secure boot."
Sounds like the Linux community would need to work with OEMs to provide a key.
