Re: swap space

I am no expert on swap, but since it is just for temporary storage (like
RAMDISK) and there should be no problem with this concept.

All,

I am in the process of building a new machine that will have several
different OSes installed for different purposes. WIN XP, Ubuntu 7.10
and Fedora 8 are already installed and working with at least two other
flavors of Linux coming. Only one OS will be booted at any given time,
no VM Ware here...

The question of the day; can I safely have a single swap space that is
shared by the different flavors of Linux? Do I need to do anything
special to the space and or settings of the OS to do this?

thanks in advance,
Michael
