I run a dual boot with Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP. Right now I have 4 partitions (Windows, root for Ubuntu, /home/ for Ubuntu and a 1GB swap for Ubuntu). I want to install FreeBSD but I can't have more than 4 primary partitions on 1 drive. So I was thinking, what if I put all 3 of the Linux partitions on 1 extended partition, so that I could triple boot with FreeBSD? Would there be any foreseeable problems with this setup? Is there any way to put the three partitions on an extended partition without reinstalling and creating it from scratch?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
