You can have 4 "primary" partitions, but if one of those 4 is an extended 
partition, you can keep going (up to 16, I think).  Win98 had to be on a 
primary; I'm not sure about newer versions.  It's been a while, but I think 
I had Linux installed on extended partitions before.

I created swap partition as primary and used it for multiple Linux distros 
on same disk.
