[14.04 64Bit] - Default Installation - No Swap Partition?

[theuteck at gmail.com]

Hello Jesse,
You have 2 choices, use a partition tool to make some space and create a new 
swap partition, or use a swap file.  The swap file will reside on the same 
partition as / and will not work for hibernation for a laptop I think, but it 
is not as risky as repartitioning, and if you only need it for VMWare, you can 
always reclaim space latter.
