What is primary partition in Linux?
Same as it is for any other operating system: A primary partition is a "physical" partition that the Legacy BIOS's MBR partition table can recognize. Contrast this with a logical partition, which is a partition stored in an extended partition to work around Legacy BIOS' inability to handle 4 real, physical, primary partitions at a time. Today, on UEFI systems which use GPT, the "primary partition" vs "logical partition" concept is pretty pointless, as you can have as many true-to-life partitions you want on your hard disk due to the face UEFI does things a load better than Legacy BIOS.

What is another name for the active partition of the hard drive?
The active partition is the partition which is marked as Active in Index table. the status and locations of partitions are stored in MBR(master boot record). The active status tells the system which partition to boot from. System boots from the partition which contains the Operating System(windows XP, 2003.....). So the partition which contains the Operating System is Active partition and it is the Primary partition. So we can call the active partition as Bootable Partition or Primary Partition.
What are different types partition?
There are two types of partitions:Primary partition: A primary partition is used to store (and boot) an operating system. You can store user data and applications here, as well. You can have up to four (4) primary partitions on one hard disk drive (HDD) at one time, but only one of those four can be labeled as an active partition (look below).Active partition: An active partition is a partition that has an operating system installed on it and is used to boot your machine. If you have one primary partition, then it's labeled as "active." If you have more than one primary partition, then only one of them is labeled as "active" in a single PC session.
Which would be the device name for the fourth logical partition on the second IDE drive in Red Hat Linux?
That depends on what primary partition the fourth extended partition has been placed on. If it was on the first primary partition, it would be /dev/sdb5 (or /dev/hdb5). If it was on the second primary partition, it would be /dev/sdb6 (or /dev/hdb6). If the third, /dev/sdb7, etc... Of course that's assuming you have placed all your logical partitions in a single primary partition. There are several other arrangements you could theoretically have made.
