Secure Boot and MickySoft's attempt to exclude Linux has been a
topic in the Linux community for awhile, as some OEMs have not
provided a way to turn off the contemptuous underhanded menouver by
the "evil empire". I can't say for sure if all of the Lenovo 'puters
provides the ability to turn it off via the CMOS setup, but the "Z"
series laptops do for sure. I recently removed the "joke" from
MickySoft, 'Bloze 8, and installed openSuSE 12.2 with no problems!
There are 2 switches in the CMOS you have to change to "legacy" and
you're all set. <br>
