Hi ME

It depends on a lot of things ME and you haven't give any details, do you want a description of all the way to install win+linux+free bsd?

I will give you some headinformation here -

You are limited to 4 primary partitions, the logical partitions start from 5 and up. 
Windows prefer a primary partition, and the best thing is to install win first. 
If you use red hat linux and the partition druid you will get problem because the druid eats all the primary partitions if you use several. Slackware will not give you that problem.

A good idea is to use free bsd's partition program for linux and free bsd and windows (well...) partitionprogram for win. Something like this - first win, then free bsd and a primary partition extra for linux, then when you install linux you install the main (root/boot) partition on the partition made with free bsd and use linux partition program to set a side a swap partition  (yes, that way it works with red hat too). 

/Mats
