Uhm, not exactly. You get up to four primary partitions, one of which
can be an extended partition. Inside that extended partition you can
have as many "logical" partitions as you wish.
I'm not sure if that is any longer true.
Can one have as many partitions as you like in /dev/sda ?
I had an idea one was constrained to SCSI's 16 partitions.
