Actually, it *is* possible (with a little work) for Windows and Linux to share the swap partition. > http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Swap-Space.html Google for "Linux Windows share swap", you'll get a lot of hits. The gist of it is: 1) create a Windows partition (FAT32) for Windows to put its swap partition in. 2) shutdown Windows and boot Linux. Compress the Windows partition into a small file. 3) Modify Linux start-up to do a mkswap on the partition during startup and to restore the windows partition during shutdown (not hibernation).
