[Novalug] Hosed uefi system

I recently had a newer HP with UEFI and "Secure boot" system that I 
ended up installing centos 6.4 minimal off a cd and taking all the 
defaults and the installer seemed to "do the right thing"... I have not 
tried Fedora on it tho.. Typically Fedora has more support..

Good luck...
