I want to slowly migrate my OS from the mess that's Windows 8 to Ubuntu, but I still want to have Win8 for the time being.
My system is:
i7 3770k, G. Skill Ripjaw X 8GB 2133MHz Ram, Crucial M4 256 GB SSD (GPT formatted), 2TB Seagate Barracuda, EVGA FTW 670, ASUS P8Z77-V Pro board (UEFI configured), CM Modular 850W PSU, LG BH-12 BluRay drive, Windows 8 x64 UEFI already installed.
My main question is, how should I go about installing Ubuntu, I would prefer to have it run on the SSD on which I already have Win8 installed. I have read on a tutorial, that Ubuntu has problems with running next to Win8 on an SSD, is this true? Should I run Ubuntu on the 2TB HDD (which I rather not due to performance differences). If running on the SSD, how much space of the SSD should I allocate to Ubuntu (currently 120GB free space)?
How should I partition the SSD or HDD depending on which to use. I read on this forum that Ubuntu will wear off the SSD if I don't tweak some stuff, what are those tweaks?
Are there any settings or things I should consider in the BIOS? I have looked around for Intel Rapid Technology and couldn't find it, no info on ASUS website either. What other things should I consider? My memory is currently set manually to run on 2133 MHz, is that okay for Ubuntu 12.10?
Also I ran Ubuntu from the install DVD to see if it works, and I had issues with the dual monitor setup main monitor Samsung 24" (1920*1080) secondary monitor Samsung 17" (1280*1024).When I turned both monitors on to their native resolution in Ubuntu, they both lost signal.
