So far, enterprise was forced to upgrade their applications when they
replace their aging hardware and the new hardware setup is not
compatible with their old Apps. With Virtualization helping them, they
can indefinitely postpone upgrades by maintaining the old setup even
in new hardware.
With this kind of inertia, even a 10 year support-cycle will not be
enough for them. So why eliminate Ubuntu based on this criteria?

I am not denying that. When designing apps around an open platform, I
expect costs be less than intimidating to comfortably go for
periodical planned  upgrades.

My only contention is that a *Web application stack* -- of all things
-- should be on a shorter upgrade cycle. 10 years is a ridiculously
long time by Internet standards. This is especially true for
customer-facing applications like an eCommerce portal. Yes, it would
be highly risky to make unstable upgrades to an eCommerce portal as
any Failure due to it has direct financial consequences. However, if
you shy away from even making significant upgrades in reasonable time
periods, your App will be a dinosaur caught in a time warp.

Until like 4 years ago, cloud strategy was largely unheard of, and
many enterprise Web Apps had a not-so-great design for scalability
with either a huge wastage of computing resources or an abysmal
resource pooling. But now, significant cost savings can be achieved
with a well designed cloud strategy (Disclaimer: I am not pretending
to be a expert on cloud computing -- merely stating the obvious). If
your eCommerce portal had no architectural redesign for the last 5
years and will continue to be so for the next 5 years, your are pretty
much limiting the number of customers you can do business with. It
would be unwise not to expect a better architecture to surface in much
less than a decade from now and resisting the change at that point,
will actually be a financial drain.

Do not top post. If this is the only VGA entry you have got, then I'm afraid
you do *not* have a separate graphics card. This entry is for integrated
controller.

$ lspci -v

redirect the output to some file and search for the string "VGA".

What makes you think that whatever I said did not match the context of this
thread or article OP linked to(which is in fact a pointer -aka slashdotting
- to three other articles)?

Quoting from one of the linked articles "While it would be possible for
various distributions to get their keys added, that wouldn't help anyone who
wanted to run a tweaked version of the "approved" bootloader or kernel.", is
exactly what I said.

Personal attacks are frowned upon here, but ideas written in this list can
and *will* be refuted. Do not take it personally. If you cannot do that then
mailing list culture may not be for you. :)

I appreciate your response to my opinions but they were mere opinions on 
the article.

It will help if we can keep the thread in the context of the article

This introduces another option that a newbie will have to change. Which, of
course, will be named *disable secure boot*. (OMG-Ubuntu rightly summarised
newbie's reaction thus: "You want me to disable a _security feature_ so I

Ah, another barrier to Newbie. This seems to be an idea to increase the
height of Windows-Linux jump barrier, without appearing to be fully blocking
it.

IMO, This will mostly affect laptops since its not easy to build one and 
its tied to a vendor. As far as desktop are concerned, I am sure mobo 
manufacturers will be sensible enough to sign the linux bootloaders or 
provide an option to boot even if it is not signed.

Worst comes to worst, it shouldn't be too difficult to patch the UEFI 
firmware or replace it with an open source firmware. IMHO, This is a 
monetization strategy which will introduce new trusted CAs, who can make 
even more money.
