Re:Swap

Uhh, yes, while most people still do that - try to put swap in the middle, it is no longer clear where exactly the 'middle' is, due to multiple platter disks and buffering. The only thing that is clear is that putting it on either end is probably the worst position, but in between these two extremes, will be many similar equally bad positions. So the best position for swap is a matter of luck...
