This will keep Mozilla-family browsers from causing a crash by running you out of virtual memory as quickly.
Sda6 is unused because I did not create it and did not know that it existed until yesterday when I opened up the partitioner. Seeing as how I the computer is 32 bit without PAE, and the only time I have problems with a web browser crashing wether it is Firefox or Konqueror is when I run into a flash video and that is rare a 2 GB swap is doing well for my needs. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."
