Note that there are no swap partitions. This is because I use
swap *files*, which give you much more flexibility. (In case you
add more RAM later, you just add another swapfile, whereas with
partitions, you're stuck with your initial partition map.)


But IIRC swap files are slower then swap partitions. Probably a
better solution is to have a basic swap partition and then add
swap files as needed (it I recall there is also a utility for
automatically adding swap files but I don't remember more).

That's how they were back before 2.6. Allegedly swapfiles are now
just as "fast" as partitions.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
