Well, I was thinking of distros.
Since I will not be the creator of the Linux ISO

At least, this is how I understand how this is supposed
to work. If I am wrong, perhaps Alan Cox or Thibault Nelis,
or Sam Varshavchik can elucidate.
Supposing your OEM isn't abusing his powers and respects Microsoft's
requirements if it's an x86 platform, you should be able to add your
own key in the firmware, which will be used to verify the boot
loader. If this thing is well designed (I assume it is), you won't
have to flip a single bit on the boot loader and certainly not rebuild
it (provided it does support secure boot in the first place).
So, will there be a document that will accompany the ISO,
advising the user what key to insert into the firmware so
that the firmware will be able to authenticate the boot loader?
