I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.
That way you'll know you've run out of physical memory when the cd-rom starts spinning up.
I hate that I kind of like this point...
Linux doesn't wait for you to be out of memory to swap-out pages.
You can set swappiness to 0
Oh, my bad! Goes to show I'm not familiar enough with the workings of swap space.
That's true for most people talking about swap online.
That's exactly why we need a CD ROM based solution to explore how swap space works.../s
