I don't know what the HOWTO says about swap, but if you're going to be hitting swap a lot, you want it on the inside tracks of the disk where the sectors are closer together physically (because they're smaller). Less space traveled by the disk head = faster access times. Then again, swap is universally slow and I personally don't think it matters where it goes. -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford.
