"not using swap" vs not creating one - i don't use swap and i rather the system not use it ... but i do create an itty bitty 250MB of swap partition even if there's is 2GB of system memory - in other cases ... like embedded systems ... it has no swap files .. no swap partitions adn things works just fine another example might be cell phones .. does those puppies have swap space ??
