Actually Linux has been able to use files for a LONG time now. The problem is that as recently as Redhat 5.2 (and maybe even 6.0) it still REQUIRES the configuration of a swap partition in order to install. The reason? Because RedHat says that's better. Absolutely nothing more

They're not. Debian, for example, doesn't force you to have a swap partition at install at all. It suggests one, but you can ignore it and set up swap files later to your hearts content. It's just RedHat that he says requires one at install time. Ok, Maybe Debian's a better way to go, for
