I'm confused by this. Looking at the Linux fdisk output, the BSD slice goes from 1 to 1459. All of the other partitions come
after this slice, don't they?
And there is another odd thing in the setup. The final primary partition (sda4 = Linux swap) actually lies within the region delineated by the extended partition, i.e., 14339 to 14593 lies within 11907 to 14593. This seems unconventional and might be confusing gparted? -- that's just a guess, I've never used gparted.
Also you suggested using the sda2 partition to install Ubunto / ... if you have no valuable data on this HPFS/NTFS partition, you could I suppose try to change the partition type to 83 = Linux native with Linux' fdisk (possibly make a Linux fs on there too), and see if you can install on there?
These are all just things to think about, as I'm not 100% sure what you want to do.
