Maybe you know this already, but there is linux support for TPM (since kernel 2.6.12) .. and Linus has said (iirc) that he's not against TPM in principle. The company that did the TPM driver work also do a TPM GRUB. http://www.prosec.rub.de/trusted_grub_details.html Now I'm not sure how much this helps i.e. how much more work there would be involved in installing Linux on a TPM machine.
