Trent,

You might find that Win8 is more of a "tablet" OS and without the touch
screen it's not really what you need?

In that case you can install Ubuntu (if you like the Unity Desktop) after
imaging it or dual boot install (Ubuntu provides for this trivially).

Personally, my Windows systems are so slow I prefer using Linux on
everything.
