My opinion is that as a new user, it is best to have a seperate machine for 
linux. Something like fedora will install easily on a used computer, you'll 
be able to take all the defaults and have a working machine in short order. 
That will settle your boot loader question too because whatever linux 
distrabution you choose will have a default boot loader.

Where I live, it is easy to acquire a computer to run linux because linux 
is far less demanding in it's hardware requirements than Windows. I got my 
linux machine for free from someone because they were going to just throw 
it out and they'd have had to pay the city $20 to dispose of it. I don't 
know what things are like where you are but my opinion is that you should 
try to find an inexpensive used machine on which to install linux.
