Ah. OK. Changed the entry from hda5 to hda2, the way it's listed in the
partition table.

Yup, this is what mine looked like so I changed fstab and rebooted.
However, upon reboot, my swap file still showed 0, 0, 0. I also tried
starting GNOME, another resource hungry program, and it crashed, too. So I
think the swap partition is still not working. What else an I do to kick
the thing on?
Below is my partition table and fstab file. Thanks for all the help! I
really appreciate it.

Yeah, sorry about that.
