What can you do with a primary partition, that you can't do with a logical partition? Its when the crap hits the fan it makes a difference. Its more likely to be able to salvage some of the contents of a HD with more physical partitions. Or if you change distros you can sometimes use the same partition table to keep /home and a partition used for storage, video etc. as I said personal preferences.

Certainly is a personal preference. I don't agree with any of it.
What would changing distros have to do with whether you can keep /home or not based on its partition being physical??
It would be a very strange place if we were all the same :) if /home is a physical partition it wont make any difference, but if is a logical partition its easily lost.
