Swap Space

In an attempt to keep the learning going I've decided to go ahead with the Gentoo installation on an old machine. I know it'll be a time drain, but the brain has to keep on working right?

I've also decided that in the process I was going to nitpick and look up every part of the process I did not 100% understand. Today's winner was swap space.

I was familiar with the concept but the linked article gives a good overview of Linux's use of swap space and how it can be configured.
