That is not true.

I said that _I_ did not want swap in _my_ test.

I am interested in evaluating functionality, not performance. Whatever 
the distro choice is, however it performs, performance will not be an issue.

I don't have swap at all on some of my systems simply because the 
required virtual memory is significantly less than the real memory 
installed.
