Hello List,

Correct. It can, however, depend on which backend you want to send data
to the printer if you are fussy.
IMO hplip also supports multifunction devices.
If you want to use HP device only for printing ... non of this is required.
If you want to do a scanning etc it is understandable that a kind of gui has

Creating (and using) a swapfile is easy, no problem in Jessie:
sudo mkswap /swap.0
sudo swapon /swap.0
grep swap /etc/fstab
/swap.0 swap
Also, there's tons of free help online (mailing lists - duh, irc, reddit,
Twitter, and Facebook has helped me once you get to know the right people).
There are also loads of security conferences and meetups (BSides, ISSA,
2600, etc).

RAM disks (tmpfs)
Tmpfs and ramdisks are very different.
A tmpfs is a filesystem in virtual memory (in RAM or swap) with variable
size.
A ramdisk is a block device (not a filesystem) in RAM with fixed size.
