woah..ian..i knew the answer to that...but i didn't think it was right, becuase i don't know unix
good job man! the main difference is that in windows, the swap is just a file on your hard drive, but on most unix systems it's actually a separate partition
It's a hard drive partition that the OS writes to as temporary memory when it's running out of ram. like window's "virtual memory"
