Partitions and Swap Files


I plan to install Windows, openSUSE, and Ubuntu on my box. I thought I would make three PRIMARY partitions on my 36G Raptor and have several LOGICAL drives on my 500G SE2 for swap, ect. as I do on my current Windows only configuration. Is this the way to go or should I let SUSE / Ubuntu create a swap partition within the primary so as to have the swap files on the same physical drive as the OS?
Further, can I even HAVE two Linux install's along with Windows on the same box?
