   I sometimes ride motorcycles without a helmet. Exactly what is Secure Boot   
   protecting me against? Counting the Eee PC and the Raspberry Pis 5 out of   
   7 of my Linux systems don't have Secure Boot. 3 have legacy BIOSs, and   
   Secure Boot on a Pi is sort of experimental. Screw it up and nothing will   
   boot.
