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.
