Hi, in lenny installation guide C.1 [1] we can read :

" By putting swap on a separate partition, Linux can make much more
efficient use of it. It is possible to force Linux to use a regular
file as swap, but it is not recommended. "

But it is like not true anymore [2] (in some circunstances at least).
Maybe this text could be change in the future squeeze installation
guide?
