RE: [Australia] NSW Government thinks they can build "unhackable" netb

by the way, is the NSW allowing you to install alternate Operating Systems? like say you wanted to use Ubuntu, could you? or would that require disabling a bunch of stuff in the BIOS?
How would you get anything else to boot when you can't enter the BIOS?
It does depend on how serious they are too - eg if the BIOS requires a signed bootloader, and then there's a TPM chip to provide full disk encryption, even taking out the HDD won't allow you to break the security.
