I my haste and excitement I did not create a swap partition for Linux. Can I *delete* (using linux fdisk) the /dev/hda5 partition and split it into 2 without harm to the rest of the partitions? I think we can do it as the linux fdisk allows a lot of control, but I would just like to be certain about side-effects. :D
You can safely delete the partition and create two in it's place without any hassles. the side effects include better performance from your system. :)
Or can I use a swap _file_ instead of a partition? Or is a partition recommended?
A partition is recommended.
