Comment:
Looking through the version history, it seems that particular line was
added nearly 5 years ago, in August of 03. At that time, the kernel in use
for the development book was 2.4.21. Interestingly, the documentation for
that kernel also uses 'tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs'. Also, interestingly, vim's
syntax feature recognizes 'tmpfs' but not 'shm'.
Still, I doubt it matters. You could probably call it 'Larry' and it would
work fine. But to be consistent with other distros and what the kernel
documentation says, I'll change it to correspond, unless, of course,
anyone has a technical objection.
