Vista + Mac OS X + Ubuntu Triple boot

I will be using BCDedit to get OS X and Vista to dual boot (Vista before OS X). So I need no help with that. After that I plan on creating an extended partition to house 2 logical partitions. From your guide I understand that I should install the MBR to the first logical partition. What is the proper way of finding out what partition number this is during the Ubuntu install? Then after I boot to Vista should the partition for EasyBCD be 0,4, taking into consideration that an extended partition counts as 1 and that the partitions are used in order of the install of the OS's.

One small complication that I thought I'd mention. I have a recovery partition at the end of the drive. Should I delete this or can I work around it?

Lastly I will be using Gparted to repartion my drive. Does this complicate matters?

Thank you,

My sugestion:
You will 3 differents OS instal on 1 HDD.
Make 3 partitions, and install first Vista on part1,then OSX part2,then Ubuntu on part3.
After latest instal of Ubuntu you get in Vista, and with EasyBCD make bootmanu.
Very simple and easy.
Regards,
Tom
