Mike,

GPT is better (if supported), but the answer to Stayvoid's problem is the
same: no need for primary partitions. ;)

Hi Stayvoid, how are you?

If you'll install grub in MBR, there is no need for primary partitions
since grub can nicely boot logical partitions.

Securing Debian Manual: 3.2.1 Choose an intelligent partition scheme

2012-03-05 Thread Stayvoid 
Hello.

It's possible to create 4 primary partitions.

How to allocate these:
/home
/tmp
/var/tmp/
/var
/opt
/var/mail
Should I use extended partitions?

Cheers
