+I haven't tried Ubuntu recently, but have installed Mandriva 2010 &
+2011, Mageia 1, PCLinuxOS, and OpenSUSE 12.1, all of which  offered the
+option of putting the bootloader either in the MBR or on the root
+partiton. 
+  (I always choose the latter, to facilitate use of a bootloader.)
+
+A beginner would be unlikely to be using multiple Linux installations,
+so the simplest approach would be the bootloader in the MBR.
+
+Even so,  most distributions make an effort to recognise other
+installs and incorporate them in the boot menu.
+  A good example is OpenSUSE 12.1 - see photo at:
