   I used 'swapon -a', is that ok?

If your fstab is correct, yes.

   I will 'man vmstat' and use it.

The GNU project doesn't use man pages, even if the info pages are
lacking, --help should provide useful information though...

   I get the most from Emacs, right?  Web browsing, mail, news, and it
   is my favorite editor, so I guess I need to learn how to use it for
   more than editing!

Shurg, I don't web browse in Emacs since it is to damn slow, and it
plainly sucks.  But I do use Emacs for all my text editing needs
(hacking, writting email, and the like).  YMMV.

   Trying to be brief, 'xstart' failed because my XF86Config-4 file
   needed to be modified for the mouse.  Where do I set permission for
   user "ron" so he can access the xserver?

Darn good question... /etc/X11, try looking there.

   I read in the archives (from about 3 years ago) that this was the
   result of a suspected "port leak".  I saw a command for checking,
   but I couldn't find 'info or man' on it.  How do I investigate
   this?

portinfo can be used to check what ports are open.
