Thanks to all. I was beginning to think along the same lines - it
depends on your going to use the system.

I generally put swap at the front of the drive because it's easier to
calculate the space for the rest of the drive. While there may be a
performance hit depending on location, I doubt that it's too
excessive. Heck, on my desktop with 2GB RAM, it never even touches
the swap anyway. I've been half tempted to just eliminate it.
