Hi all, While still trying to figure out why Thunderbird isn't working so well with Dovecot, I figured I'd move onto another mystery; thought I'd seek out some opinions here. :-)
When setting up Linux systems, I've always set up a separate swap
partition. I was reading a few days ago that apparently there's a nifty
way to do like Windows does (that alone should probably be good enough
reason to *not* do it... :-) ) and set up a swap *file* instead.
So, anyone? Pros & cons? Is there any reason to prefer one over the other?
One thing to know about up front - my new Debian setup is on my home
server. It runs 24/7 and I *never* suspend/hibernate it. So since it
never has to resume from a swap partition, that particular item is moot. :-)
So, what is the common "best practice" (more-or-less) consensus on the
subject these days?
