I was thinking that an active swap partition was 'virtual memory'.
Why are many folks using capital letters 'VM'. Am I missing
something? Is 'VM' == virtual memory or is there a application
or service called 'VM' ?
Anywho, the only 'virtual memory' I know of is an active
swap file or swap partition and either can be started
or stopped in a running kernel.
(I think.)
