   Hey Wilfred!   
      
    WvV> On a busy server a little bit of swap can be usefull, so the   
    WvV> kernel doesn't start killing random processes right away when   
    WvV> it runs out of real memory.   
      
   After +20 some odd years I have yet to see that happen.   
      
   The one instance where swap was needed was on the raspi when attempting to   
   update to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu and once that was done I turned off swap   
   and then later eliminated it from the microSD card once I was satisfied it   
   wasn't needed anymore.  Swap on SD cards isn't a good idea to say the least   
   but I was willing to sacrifice one for the cause.   
      
   The card still works but I only use it for storage these days as I retired the   
   raspi once I was satisfied I did all I could for that cause and that other   
   than a learning experience there is nothing there of any real value to me   
   personally, especially the crippled onboard wireless chip.  What a waste.   
      
   Life is good,
