I have a largish (389 gig) windows partition on this machine that has

Hi Pete
Just to address one small aspect, why not use a virtual machine to
install other distros to play around with?
It would save the hassle of having to reboot to boot into a different OS
and could just be deleted if you decided you didn't like it, plus it
would obviate the need to wipe/amend the size of your Windows partition.
I have a friend who has about seven VMs -- several Linuxes of various
flavours, Win7, Win8 and I think even a BSD.
When I had my machine built I had XP installed as well as Ubuntu. I
can't remember when I last booted the XP partition -- I've had a WinXP
VM for several years and it's handy and much more convenient to start
that up for the rare instances that I need it rather than reboot the
machine.
