All operating systems use the same basic hard drive partitioning 
rules: at least one, and up to four partitions; all four partitions 
may be primary partitions, or three may be primary, and one may be an 
extended partition. The extended partition may be further subdivided.

Operating systems do differ in how they format partitions, which 
results in the differences among file systems that are available.

Each operating system has its own tools for drive partitioning and 
formatting, and they are preferred, even though the results from one 
operating system might be usable by another. So, use Linux tools for 
Linux. Within Linux, whichever tools suit you are the ones to use.

Because the same partitioning rules apply among operating systems, you 
can read about them generally, and apply them particularly for Linux. 
Any pair of Linux distributions that can use the same file systems 
could reside in each other's drive partitions, in the absence of the 
other distro. In other words, given similar file system support, 
either distribution could live with the same partitions and formats.

I suggest you spend some time reading about partitioning, and the 
supporting articles in the references to gain some knowledge and 
confidence about how partitioning works.
