Ok. SO a little bit has changed here. I have decided that I want to install Fedora. I know it might not be the best OS, but its one of the only ones that recognizes my trackpad on the live disc (my laptop is a touchscreen, and ubuntu seems to only recognize that). Now, I would like to dual-boot, should I install grub on the Linux partition, and then add that entry to the Windows boot entries via EasyBCD or something like that? Or should I install grub to the MBR? I ask this question because I currently have windows 8 with a UEFI boot, and I have some friends in my comp sci program that have bad stories about not correctly installing Linux and deleting their windows partition (probably by their our stupid fault though...). Thanks for all the help guys :)
