"Recommended for efficiency" clearly means your installation
Thanks for the help!

I like this idea of using a swap file instead of partition (for both my
Debian and Ubuntu machines). Is the following code correct for creating the
swap file (assuming 1 GB swap file size)?
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
And would the correct use of mkswap be:
# mkswap /swap
