On my current HDD, I have 52gb of unaccounted disk space.  That can't be 
normal.  When I add up all the space allocated for partitions it amounts to 
448gb of a 500gb drive.

Since I want to be able to suspend to disk, I plan to have an 8gb swap, but 
that is what I did when I set up my current HDD, and it only allocated 7.5gb 
to swap.  Should I add an additional .5gb to satisfy this shortage?
