[sclug] Running without swap

[Will Dickson]

Hi all,

I have a dim and distant memory to the effect that, back in the olden 
days, Linux didn't like being run without swap, even if you had lots of 
RAM. However, nowadays, RAM is cheap and plentiful, and for 
high-paranoia situations (where it'd be nice to not have to worry about 
data persisting in the swap for longer than it should) it seems to me 
that this ought to be practical.

Anyone know what the score is now?

Will.
