One advantage that I have read about Linux is that it is much
easier on resources than Windows; it can be used to bring new life to
older machines. Therefore, I am curious as to why 4 GB of RAM is
insufficient to run Linux properly, and that several dedicated
partitions for swap areas are required. Can't Linux just use a file on
disk for swapping of necessary?
