First, the manufacturer can/should decide to let the user enable/disable secure boot in the bios...
As for linux, from memory, different distributions chose different paths...
I think RedHat will apparently buy a key from verisign and Canonical has decided to use their own key.
I think they need to use non GPL boot loaders (to protect the key I guess), so no grub2...
