Please keep in mind that there are many uses where there's no
swap. Ram is pretty cheap these days, and when you have 20 machines
32Meg each, lazy option is not to give them any disks. (Also, so-called
network computers do not have any disks). As we are not able to swap
over network (well, we are, but with pretty ugly paches), we should
not depend on swap _too_ much.
