Linus Torvalds vince il Millennium Tech Prize, premio finlandese per l'innovazione. Ma lo deve dividere con Shinya Yamanaka, che ha reso possibile la tecnica delle staminali pluripotenti. Ecco come hanno migliorato la nostra vita
PC vendors that ship Windows 8 will have to ship their computers with UEFI secure booting enabled in order to meet the criteria of Microsoft’s Windows 8 Logo program. The secure boot mechanism ensures that only code signed with a trusted signature can execute at startup, thus protecting the user from malware that tampers with the operating system during the boot process. As currently proposed, Secure Boot impedes free software adoptionEarlier this year, Linux users began to raise concerns about whether the security mechanism will impair the ability of regular end users to install third-party operating systems and open source bootloaders.Microsoft’s compatibility specifications require the hardware vendors to provide a mechanism for disabling secure boot on x86 PCs, making it possible to install any third-party operating system without further obstacles. But there are still concerns about whether the process will be simple and transparent enough for new users. Disabling secure boot will also obviously eliminate the security benefits offered by the feature.
The FSF dislikes Red Hat’s approach because it means that Fedora users will have to rely on Microsoft’s signature and treat Microsoft as a trusted entity. Ubuntu’s approach doesn’t have that problem, but it has additional complexity because end users will have to configure UEFI to respect Canonical’s signature.
Con Windows 8 sarà più complicato installare un sistema operativo Linux:
Però, se basta farsi rilasciare un certificato da Microsoft per risolvere il tutto, a me non sembra poi un gran problema...
