Is it possible to do this with Linux? All the Linuxes I've seen (not
many admittedly) are on DOS primary/extended(logical) partions. Maybe
this is because they often co-exist with Windows.
But could a single-boot Linux machine do this in theory?

It wouldn't be too good for free-ness if Linux always required a DOS
partition to begin with.
