I want to put it where each bootable version can access it. I don't want to carve 1G out of each of the partitions, so /home/swap is a reasonable compromise. Each partition then has /swap as a symbolic link, to make it easy to find. If you have a better suggestion, I'm open to it. I don't like a separate partition, though.
