NMGLugers, I have been helping with a new install on a laptop with an SSD replacing the dynamic hard drive. I am wondering what the best practice is on the swap space. I have heard that the SSD has a limited, if large, number of re-writes in its lifetime. Like a usb thumbdrive it can wear out. So, if a computer is heavily used would it make sense to add 'noswap' to the Grub default file? This would eliminate the many re-writes to swap and preserve the SSD for a longer life. Is this reasonable? Thank you, Ted P.
