I do have swap. /tmp is on disk.
I'm using LVM for disk volumes.
The most non-standard thing is that I'm running myth front and backends
in a chroot and, although the chroot is Debian testing (i.e., the next
stable release in preparation), the host system, including the kernel
and X, are Debian Lenny (aka oldstable).
