I ran cfdisk (have the 2 primary and 1 logical partition). Although adding another primary partition stopped me from going foward, I was able to add a number of logical partitions. I've been playing with installing Debian on different configurations (dual boot, multiple Linuces) and at home, I was able to even put the /boot on a logical partition (that's how I have it now). So, if it's extra disk space you want to carve up, use logical partitions.
