So further to my earlier posts #212 and #215 I followed these steps and Ubuntu 13.04-desktop-amd64 installed without glitch.
So: Updated BIOS using built in Samsung updater Disabled Secure Boot Change OS selection to CSM OS USB HDD to highest priority Boot from USB and install Ubuntu The only problem I have at the moment is the bootloader. Loading Windows 8 from GRUB gives error. When in UEFI mode Windows 8 boots fine. When in CSM OS Ubuntu boots fine from GRUB. Going to try and follow steps in #202 to resolve this. But this is a minor issue.
