I tried a little, but gave up and used an external USB drive (1TB) and am
booting off that for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I already had it setup on another
machine and just moved the drive over. This way I didn't have to mess with the
EFI or Windows8 (which I can still boot via boot menu and F8 to force it to EFI
partition). Just makes it a little slower on startup mostly.
