| Dec 19, 2013 at 19:21 | comment | added | Andrew Larsson | @Tibor The question is "How to set up swap space?" In my opinion, a correct answer should describe how to do it as well as bring attention to some pitfalls and warn against misuse. Your answer does just that while the "most popular" answer only tells you why you should never "do this at all" (which is dumb, because there is a proper way to use it, and it actually is useful). | |
