Q: Any advantage using primary/logical partitions?

[Jonathan Gift <jgift@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi,

I got some great help on re-partitioning a dos partition into several
seperate primary partitions (wow, a mouthful)... But for future
reference, is there  a"preference" for using primary versus logical
partitions?

ie Next install should I use:

Primary 	/boot	
Primary 	/
Primary		/swap
Logical		/home
Logical		/usr/local

or

Primary		/boot
Primary		/usr/local
Primary		/home
Logical		/
Logical		/swap

Any thoughts?

Jonathan

PS At present my boot is on hda5 which is at teh start of my etended
partition, because I had dos on the primary. I assume it's ok there
since all works ok. But is it bettr to make it teh firstparitition using
fdisk first cylinders option?
