Caution: Some Samsung's Laptops Bricked with Linux

Apparently some of Samsung's laptops with the UEFI are becoming unusable when attempting to install Linux on it. As of this posting some of the affected laptops are P700Z5C, NP700Z7C, and NP900X4C. IF you have just Windows 8 you should be okay for now. My advice for now, don't install Linux on them.
