This comment is for those to follow:-)

Sharing swap is not always a good idea, and my laptop is an example 
where it wouldn't be.

Currently, it's running SUSE 10, and it does suspend to disk sometimes, 
for example when the battery goes flat and when I press fn and the 
special zed key.

It saves itself to the swap partition, and I really don't know what 
would happen if I booted with a different kernel (especially a kernel 
from a different distro). One likely result is that I'd lose the 
suspended state.
