Will i encounter any problems sharing 1 swap partition with different distros of Linux? I have a 40 gig thumb drive that i want cram as many different distros of Linux as possible. Is it possible to have them all use the same swap space? |

The swap space is only necessary in case you run out of RAM. Normally it is not used for permanent storage of data. I say normally because when using the "suspend" feature instead of shutting down the PC copies a complete RAM image to the swap space. When booting a different distro this might lead to troubles (haven't tried yet). However, when avoiding "suspend" you should be able to use the swap space with as many distros as you like. |
