[Wien] Configuration of SWAP

[Martin Gelfand]

Swap space is managed entirely by the operating system,
so there's nothing to configure except to let the OS know
that it exists (under linux, by an entry in /etc/fstab).

1.8GB seems grossly excessive---if you end up using that
much swap your calculations will go so slowly you might
as well not bother with them, you'll want to find a machine
that has lots more RAM.

Since this question doesn't have anything to do with WIEN,
feel free to contact me off-list if you have follow-up
questions.  Unless you meant "scratch" rather than "swap"....
