1. why is it said that linux should always be installed in primary partitions ?
2. what is the trade off between installing linux on a primary partition and installing linux on a logical partition, is there any performance issues ?
3.is there really a concept of logical partition , since there are only 4 primary partitions and one of them is treated as extended partition which can contain any no: of logical partitions ?

1) Who said that ? (it's rubbish BTW)
2) Nope.

Debian testing is running just fine in a logical partition for me.No tradeoff. It's Windows and the BSDs that have to be on a primary partition.

3 isn't true anyway - sata can have total of 16 partitions (or is it 15?), ide was 64 from memory

Oh you mean the nof logical partitions. in SATA which value is correct 2^4 or 2^4 - 1 , BTW how did IDE or PATA drives get the value 64 ?
