well, i know that in linux, there can be a max of 4 primary partitions...

(i believe that this is a standard limitation of x86 machines...)

now, of those 4 primaries, you can make a logical partition

the logical partition is a primary partition, but is read so as that that partitions WITHIN the logical partition, are unlimited

so, a logical partition can hold several partitions, thus breaking the 4 primary partition limit originally created...
