I can't escape the feeling that UEFI is nasty. It would force me to trust the supplier of a software OS that I could not ever trust.
Maybe at the moment it is possible to find a 'backdoor' through the UEFI but how long before it becomes impenetrable to Linux users (or any other 'non-approved' end user).
I will be writing to my local hardware suppliers to ask them for a list of non-UEFI hardware. Might pay to get some while it is available...
