I usually don't bump a year old thread but in this case somebody probably wants to know the answer.
The answer is: no. They are just different formats of how the beginning of your hard disk is organized. The partition table only needs to be changed when some of the OSses you have on your HD doesn't understand the default MSDOS partition table. There is no "new linux table", though.
