"Only one is active" means only one OS or one swap? I assume it's the former, since others have said that two swaps is not a problem. Now then: does even the *possibility* exist that two OSs are active at a time? (Does this thing called XEN have something to do with running multiple OSs at the same time or just on the same machine?)

Wouldn't you have only 1 swap defined to each OS, meaning even if they ran at the same time, they'd be hitting different partitions? Greg Wallace
