Check the title of the thread Dennis. What does it say? It sas Ubuntu.
Did you not know that Ubuntu is not Windows, Dennis?

Or did you just feel left out because you don't know anything about
Ubuntu, but you think you do about Windows?


Well, since a Windows thread normally attracts people going on about
Linux maybe it's fair enough :-)


Well TNP did say no OS uses swap if it has enough RAM which isn't true
for windows or linux under normal conditions. You have to explicitly
stop it using swop in both OSes. Other OSes may be different but I don't
know about everything like TNP does.
