I don't know why you bothered to assign your Linux swap partition to disklabel partition m.

I'm very unfamiliar with linux, and the few times I tried to install (on real machine or qemu) I noticed it will automatically request a swap partition. Can I do without?

I note there are three small gaps: 2048 sectors (1MB) is skipped at the beginning of the drive, before NTFS partition i, and again before partition j. 11232 sectors (5.4MB) is skipped between ext2fs partition (n) and your 3rd NTFS partition (k).

Maybe this has been done by Gparted? Is this a problem?
Well, I checked the original mbr (before ever using gparted, at that time I used Vista's tool to shrink its own partition, and the gap at the beginning of the drive was already there:
Code:
$ cat mbr.fdisk.bak
Disk: sd0 geometry: 32301/240/63 [488397168 Sectors]
Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55
