Ray, I can't even parse the sentence from your draft into
anything meaningful much less useful information for
configuring a system. Swap partitions are useful and a key
element in a virtual memory system.

If you meant "don't mount a swap partition", you didn't say
that. If so, it is not the place of any application
documentation to tell anyone using any virtual memory O/S
that they should not have paging space. This is so obviously
wrong that I doubt that is what you meant.

If you meant "you will want to have enough RAM so that memory
paging will not impact your system performance", your comment
didn't express that either. This, or some similar point, I
would agree with. However, simply saying swap partition are
"useless" in the documentation doesn't tell users what they
need to do or what they need to know.
