Just wanted to note that you can have four primary partitions. This
includes one primary extended, which can house as many logicals as you
need (I read something somewhere about 64 being the upper limit but I'm
not sure if that is even true...althoug if you need more than 64
logicals on one drive you are in trouble ;-). All of my GNU/Linux
stuff is logical. There was some little complaint when installing
Debian about my /boot not being a primary, but it is obviously possible.
