Do you mean that you don't have to find the LBA of the extents of your swap file, and put that into a kernel argument anymore?

Cuz that is a nasty, skanky hack.

I've never heard of that, it's beyond me. So it's an increased risk when tweaking the kernel? As an average home user it's all right?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
