[TriLUG] SWAP and SSD vs HDD

I don't think it'll make any difference at all. Ideally, on a box like
this, swap should never be used. If it does, it doesn't matter if it's on
SSD or HDD, it will be dog slow either way. I went through a period of time
where I stopped allocating swap partitions. I started doing it again to
allow for the machine to hibernate, and for that I'd put it on the faster
drive. Then again, it probably will make no difference in this case, so I'd
just go with the faster drive for that.
