Quick comment on your article; unless you're using a microdrive;
*PLEASE* don't recommend using compact flash as swap space.  Flash
technology has limited write cycles (on the order of 100k to 1M cycles
per block).  Using it as swap is a great way to kill the lifecycle of
your device.

(the ML300 ships with a microdrive; the ML40x ships with a regular CF card)

I know the previous article also recommends a swap partition, but
Linux will happily run without swap.

Cheers,
g.
