In Bootstrap 3, columns are specified using percentages. (In Bootstrap 2, this was only the case if a column/span was within a .row-fluid element, but that's no longer necessary and that class no longer exists.) If you use a .container, then @Michael is absolutely right that you'll be stuck with a fixed-width layout. However, you should be in good shape if you just avoid using a .container element.

The margin for the body is already 0, so you should be able to get up right to the edge. (Columns still have a 15px padding on both sides, so you may have to account for that in your design, but this shouldn't stop you, and you can always customize this when you download Bootstrap.)
