Almost quit EOS because I forgot to set up a swap

Yes, #9. I’ve ran with and without a Swap partition. Since I’ve ran into more problems without, and since this laptop has only 4GB (3.65G Conky) of non-upgradable RAM, the last time I did a wipe and reinstall, I decided to throw in a 8096MB (7.91G Conky) Swap partition. Even with only 40% of RAM used, I see that I’m also using 9% of Swap.
