I'd always heard that swap files are slower than swap partitions. Is
that a myth?
Also, is there any good reason to have a separate /boot on a modern
system? I always thought /boot was just a kludge to get around old
BIOSes that couldn't load anything that wasn't on the first part of
the disk. I tend to just combine /boot and / on my newer systems --
am I taking some kind of risk by doing so?
