John, Thanks for answering my question about whether Linux writes to Swap=20 even when the system is not being used. I suspected as much but I didn't=20 know. I would switch to Linux or Amiga but they don't support certain=20 games that I like to play. Again thanks for the answer. rich! And for those who didn't read the earlier post, Linux only writes to=20 swap when the system is being used unlike Windows. rich! On 6/7/2014 6:24 PM, John J.
