I have two machines with 4GB of ram and I've never seen either one use
swapspace (yet) so I'm thinking I could delete my swap partitions and
substitute a much smaller swapfile -- if it's safe.
Any downside to using a swap file instead of a swap partition, maybe
depending on which filesystem you

I haven't used a swap partition on any of my systems (intel celeron,
p3, amd64, intel xeon) for over... what... 10 years?
Swapfiles only, and sometimes I don't even mount the swap. Although I
have never removed support for any kind of swap from my kernel.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/swapfile
