You can either disable Secure Boot (part of the UEFI
specification, not a proprietary extension) and simply boot any
UEFI system, or you can get installers for Ubuntu and Fedora that
are Secure Boot-enabled and be able to take advantage of the
security benefits which entail (proof that the boot loader and
kernel are "legit" is useful even on Linux systems).<br>

A lot of the currentish server-class gear from major vendors has
options to select between UEFI and legacy BIOS modes. I've got Dell
and Cisco servers that offer that, and have seen that on HP<br>
<br>
The legacy BIOS mode is also useful because it (or a relatively
simple patch) is needed to manage the servers from cobbler due to
UEFI changing the VCI presented during PXE boot<br>
