-- Ubuntu—Although an official Ubuntu package
- isn't available, I've created a rEFInd PPA for
- Ubuntu. To use it, open a Terminal window and type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rodsmith/refind, then sudo apt-get update. You can then type sudo apt-get install refind to install the package.
- You'll be asked to decide whether to install rEFInd to the ESP when you
- first install it. Thereafter, the rEFInd version will update along with your
- other software. This package is built with GNU-EFI and is not signed with a
- Secure Boot key; however, the install script should sign the binary with a
- locally-generated key if it detects that your system uses Secure Boot. Thus,
- if you've previously installed one of my binaries on a Secure Boot system
- and added its key as a MOK, you'll have to add your local key when you
- reboot.
+- Debian—Debian added rEFInd 0.10.3 to its "sid" (unstable")
+ repository in June of 2016. Because most people don't use this
+ "bleeding-edge" version of the distribution, it is not yet a practical
+ option for most users; but it is on the way. You can download and
+ install it as a separate package here.
+ Debian's inclusion of rEFInd means that derivative distributions, such
+ as Ubuntu and Mint, will eventually receive rEFInd packages, too. Be
+ aware that Debian's package is not signed with a Secure Boot key,
+ although if the sbsigntool package is installed, the
+ installation scripts will generate and use their own Secure Boot
+ keys and sign the binary with them.
+
+- Ubuntu—Two Ubuntu-specific methods of installing rEFInd in
+ this distribution exist:
+
+
+
+ - Ubuntu 16.10 ("Yakkety Yak") has synced the Debian package. As I
+ write (in late June, 2016), it's not yet available in the
+ repositories, but it should appear there eventually. Note that, like
+ the Debian package, this one is not signed for use with Secure Boot,
+ but if your system includes the sbsigntool package, the
+ installer will generate a local key for this purpose.
+
+ - I've created a rEFInd
+ PPA for Ubuntu. To use it, open a Terminal window and type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rodsmith/refind,
+ then sudo apt-get update. You can then
+ type sudo apt-get install refind to
+ install the package. You'll be asked to decide whether to install
+ rEFInd to the ESP when you first install it. Thereafter, the rEFInd
+ version will update along with your other software. This package is
+ built with GNU-EFI and is not signed with a Secure Boot key;
+ however, the install script should sign the binary with a
+ locally-generated key if it detects that your system uses Secure
+ Boot. Thus, if you've previously installed one of my binaries on a
+ Secure Boot system and added its key as a MOK, you'll have to add
+ your local key when you reboot.

- Arch Linux—You can obtain rEFInd from the Arch
repositories, in both a stable version (the refind-efi package
