I have been configuring EeePCs without swap to minimize wear on the SSD. It
usually only matters with Firefox.
The Eee 1000 comes with a built in SD reader. I figure that I can direct swap
there. If it fails, the cost of an SD card is minimal (4 GB = $14 at Target
today).
Two questions:
1) does that make sense, or is SDHC too slow for swap?
2) I have never added swap after an install. Is there a way to make it a swap
partition, or should I put a swap file there? If the latter, do I need to
reformat/repartition it for swap file use? If I am doing that, do I just make
it a swap partition?
(I guess that's more than 2 questions)
