M m3trj Fully Optimized Messages 1,574 Mar 24, 2005 #1 If I create a triple boot system with 2 Linuxes on it, can I use the same swap partition for both Linuxes, or do they need one each? Thanks in advance.

OP OP M m3trj Fully Optimized Messages 1,574 Mar 24, 2005 #4 Ah right thanks. I have set up a general swap partition, so I'll have a go with it.
