149GB hd from factory in my Lenovo SL400. Vista's Disk Management snap-
in shows this partitioning for Disk 0:

Letter  Volume Size     Status
--      -----------      ------ -------------------------------------------
S:      SERVICE003      1004 MiB        Healthy (System, Active, Primary 
Partiion)
C:      SW_Preload       135 GiB        Healthy (Boot, Crash Dump, Primary 
Partition)
         unallocated     10 GiB  recovered from C: w/ Disk Mgt snap-in & by
shrinking Q: w/ EASUS Part. Mgr.
Q:      Lenovo             6 GiB        Healthy (Primary Partition)

 It's my intent to install a Linux (eLive? Kubuntu? pcE17OS 2nd Ed.?
Dislike GNOME, fer sure) and I've been given to understand there's a
maximum of four (4) Primary Partitions on a hard drive, so how do I
overcome that? With extended partitions? Linux wants two partitions
(well, three, but since I have 2GB RAM, I think Linux will do OK sans
swap).

Your on-topic responses are truly appreciated.
