Another thing that you might want to do is to setup your swap partition on
a sererate harddrive from the one you will boot linux from. I have Linux
and data on my second harddrive whereas I have my swap on the drive with
Windows. Works great. You will notice a big difference in access speed.
You can take an old 486 and set it up right and it will outrun a pentium.
I learned this trick from the local linux users group. I hear that it's
even faster to have linux installed across three harddrives. Swap from
hd1, boot from hd2, data from hd3. An old computer set up this was will
scream with performance. It's a very cheap way to make a hotrod out of
your computer and it's a piece of cake to setup. Just my two cents worth.
