It seems to be distro specific how to best handle UEFI.

The Ubuntu "UEFI" information page seems really complete to me, but you've
probably already found it, if you were doing an planning an Ubuntu install.

"The google-fu is strong in that one." - in my best Yoda voice ;)

In case there were any questions - "ubuntu uefi" is the fu for google.
