+ I haven't tried Ubuntu, but have installed Mageia, PCLinixOS, Mandriva
+2010 and 2011, and OpenSUSE 12.1, and all of them offered the option
+of putting the bootloader (e.g. GRUB) either in the MBR or on the root
+partition.
+  (I always choose the latter, to faciilate use of a boot manager.)
+
+However, OpenSUSE 12.1 did a particularly good job of recognising
+existing Linux installlations, so that even booting it via the MBR would
+still offer a selection from all those installations.

+- although the more detailed information came from the partition labels.
+
+A beginner would probably have not got around to multiple installs yet,
+so the MBR would be the simplest thing to use, until more experienced.
