A swap partition is "better", in that it's a bit faster than a swap file. However, it's arguable if it matters for you (ie, it depends entirely on the load of the system in question). > Question: How do I turn off the swap partition (in a few steps)? Unless you need the space, I wouldn't bother. 2GB is probably a bit much; OTOH, if you don't care, it's not hurting you at all. M
