Hi,
i have a new (2 months ago, not in yet :-( ) 80G hard drive and started 
wondering how many partitions can you put in a ide drive.
I know i can have 4 primary, or 3 primary 1 ext

How many logical drives can you have in a ext partition ?.

I read in a file "Partitioning Dos and Don'ts": Setting up a linux extended 
partition, which used to be a necessity with earlier disk tools, is now 
generally a no-no. Is this correct ?.

I use 4 partitions swap - / - /home - /usr/local

I will want at least 4 different Linux's :-), a partition for doing CDs, a 
partition for backups (from hda), that's 15 partitions, and will probably want
more.
Can i have that many ?.

Thanks
   Trevor
