So if I free up some space by resizing down my WIn8 partition, I can install Ubuntu on the free space left over? Can I use the Win8 bootloader?
Should I just follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#General_principle and do that?
P.S. I have secure boot turned off.
Hello,
When I go to install Ubuntu 12.10, the partitioning step does not give me the option to install alongside Windows 8. Would I have to manually create a partition to direct Ubuntu to...
Hello, I'd like to test out the propietary driver for my Radeon 6290 on Ubuntu 12.10 in a live USB environment. How can I do this?
Okay. UEFI is on, secure boot is off. Since I'll be installing from USB, do I just set the USB as the first, and install as usual? I understand that Ubuntu has UEFI support, correct?
WIN8 was installed in UEFI mode... How would I install Ubuntu in UEFI mode?
Ubuntu is able to boot from USB. Most things seem to work, although I think I might need a different driver for desktop effects.

Okay. About to install Ubuntu 12.10 on my Acer Aspire One 725-0487.
1. Will 12.10 and Windows 8 play nice with each other in a dual boot?
2. Will the battery life be similar to Windows 8?

I was considering using a rolling distro, but if they're really that problematic, forget it. I might consider a half-rolling distro, just have to find one that I like.
Have you considered Chrome or Chromium OS? You can get premade builds from chromeos.hexxeh.net or build one yourself from chromium.org/chromium-os.
I'm using Windows 8 on my netbook and I have to say, it's very smooth in Metro and good in Desktop.
My main complaint is that I feel that the whole experience is disjointed. I want to be able to...

Hello everyone, my name is Quinn, and I've been using Ubuntu on and off (due to hardware compatibility) for about 2 years. I've really enjoyed using Ubuntu and I have played with it a bit, but...
Just wondering how I can find out what does and doesn't work on this computer. I bought it and love it, but I'm not too keen on Windows 8, which feels very disjointed.

I tried it a bit in a VM. I like it on my phone, though :P
Hello,
I used Unetbootin to make a Live USB with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. When Ubuntu 12.10 comes around, will I just have to run Unetbootin again to upgrade, or can I upgrade the Live USB without...
