If you have sufficient memory, I'd suggest installing VMware Player or
VirtualBox on your Windows 8 installation, and installing CentOS 6.4 as
a guest operating system on top of that. It's less likely that you'd
accidentally corrupt your Windows 8 setup that way. Some of the
virtualization options might come in handy as well, by letting you do
things like rolling back to a snapshot, etc., that might help you to
repeatedly try different things without risk of having to keep
reinstalling CentOS for each thing you want to try. I don't hear as much
about dual boot setups these days, likely because most people just run
both operating systems at the same time now...
