In fact, it is even less. One primary, one extended, the rest are logical, and you waste numbers 3 and 4: 13 partitions are left for real use (1,2,5,..15)
Extended is entry in partition table, so you can use 3 primary + 1 extended. I use 2 + 1 and nobody is complaining.
Of course you can, but it is less flexible. Once that #2 is extended type, it's not so simple to change any of them to be #3 and #4. Resizing gets too complex.
:-) Sure. Though, it depends on what is /dev/sda1.

It was created by squeezing windows more than it wwas right after installation. -- Regards, Rajko.
