Because EFI is used on a GPT partion tabel a few things should be considered.
GPT does not allow extended partioning.
If you are installing Linux with, for example, 3 partitions (e.g. /, /home, /swap) you need to create these on primary partitions. GPT partition table allows you to create more then 3 primary partitions.
Two installations (Xubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 ... with encrypted /home partitions)
| Partition | Mount point | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /dev/sda1 | /boot/efi | EFI |
| /dev/sda2 | / | Xubuntu 12.04 / |
| /dev/sda3 | /home | Xubuntu 12.04 /home |
| /dev/sda4 | swap | Xubuntu 12.04 swap (*) |
| /dev/sda5 | / | Ubuntu 12.10 / |
| /dev/sda6 | /home | Ubuntu 12.10 /home |
| /dev/sda7 | swap | Ubuntu 12.10 swap (*) |
* the two swap partitions are necessary for the two encrypted /home partitions
** gparted will not recognize the swap partitions as such due to encryption
