If you use the standard BIOS and boot loader, then you are limited to 4 primary partitions, just like other operating systems. If your system supports EFI/UEFI then you can use a more modern boot loader with much expanded partitioning options. However, even with a standard PC BIOS, Linux can boot from extended partitions, unlike Windows which has to boot (AFAIK) from a primary partition.

You can create four primary partition and in the the forth partition you can create many logical partitions if the partitioning scheme that you are using is fdisk.
