You actual need 2 partitions for a Linux install. One for the install and
one for a swap file.
Partitions are virtual HD's. You are just taking the HD and dividing up
space. I have 11 of them on dual booted 120gig HD I have. Had 9 on a 40 gig
HD

One of the advantages is that the puter doesn't have to search the whole HD
to find something.

Life is what happens in between plans.
