I have noticed that since I have used Linux since 2003, I have never ever utilized Swap partitions. Maybe I am dead wrong and I have not realized I was but whenever I view system resources, I never see anything utilzing all my system RAM to the point I need to dump data into Swap. Is this an force of habit back from when 16MB's of RAM was available? Now that most people can pick up 4 + GB's on a laptop or low end PC, do we still need to create useless partitions for Swap? Perhaps I am being ignorant in thinking most modern (2001+) systems don't need to use Swap but I myself just have never seen Swap being utilized or found a need to create this partition.
