Swap is the computing equivalent of a bank's overdraft feature. :-) In other words, overdrafting is no problem as long as you can quickly pay it back.
If you can't and have gotten too deep into it (with actually needing swap), well, then, life just suddenly became extremely exciting. :-) Non-sequitur, but wanted to throw in my favorite comparison for swap. :) Do carry on with the thread. :-) -Dan P.S. ''Exciting'' is a colloquial term used by bleary, red-eyed oncall people. They could probably come up with much more interesting and descriptive terms but likely ones that I'm afraid aren't suitable for publication here. :-) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
