<PRE>2012/8/14 Maurice Batey &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">maurice at bcs.org.uk</A>&gt;:
&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> If they don't know (or if they do know but cannot confirm a 'Disable
</I>&gt;<i> Secure Boot' option is available) , I don't buy, and explain why.
</I>
This &quot;If they don't know (or if they do know but cannot confirm 'foo')
I don't buy&quot; is a general rule I've been following since I switched to
Linux many years ago. If I go out shopping for a complete machine I
always have current Linux cd/stick with me to test the modell on
location. If they don't let me test I don't buy. If they confirm
&quot;works with Linux&quot; and it doesn't I send it back (which I have done a
couple of times).

As easy as that. Of course this may mean that you may not get that
&quot;extra cheap special offer&quot;.
