Do the partitions in the Recommended Partitioning Scheme have to be primary or can they all be logical partitions within the same extended partition?
I am installing Fedora onto my laptop, which already has three primary partitions. I would prefer not to delete any of the partitions (Recovery Partition, System Reserved, and C Drive). If it helps, the laptop is a VAIO F2 series.
I would like to use something like the partitioning system described in the documentation just to learn more about using partitions in Linux. ( http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html )
My question, therefore, has three parts:
Is it possible to use logical partitions instead of primary partitions for the swap, /boot, /, and /home partitions?
If it is possible, are there any significant differences from a learning perspective of using logical partitions rather than primary partitions?
If it is possible, are there any significant difference from a technical perspective of using logical partitions rather than primary partitions?
Any other advice would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
