No
You may have an extended partition with multiple logical partitions.

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

I don't think so, partly for historical reasons.

Nope, but Linux doesn't need to be on a primary partition if that helps, only MS.
You can install Ubuntu to a logical inside an extended partition, and you can have heaps of logicals!
So you couldn't get more than 4 primary partitions if you wanted to, like using advanced modding, of your system, etc.

It don't work that way.
Yes, it's really easy.
Just fit more hard drives.
Change of question. How many hard drives can you have?

Depends on the motherboard. An IDE cable can take two devices. There used to be two cables=four devices. More usual now, with the advent of SATA, one.
SATA is usually four plugs on the board.
External hard drive numbers depend on amount of USB, Firewire and eSATA ports. I guess if you used a hub and POWERED external hard drive enclosures (not powered by the rails of the computer), you could achieve quite a number.
Before attempting this experiment, make sure you can afford it when you reach breaking point!
