Hello Leszek,

Thank you for your suggestion, I like the idea but ... Before we take a
vote, may I ask something?
If someone with 512MB RAM and has 1GB SWAP Partition, how zRAM will do any
help in this case?

When I first starting using Ubuntu and Lubuntu, when I first joined the
Ubuntu Forms, the GURUs and the Expert people over there taught me
something.
If you have 1GB-2GB RAM or more, SWAP Partition = RAM
If you have LESS than 1GB RAM, SWAP Partition = 2 * RAM

Whenever I use my test machines with 512MB RAM, I always set SWAP Partition
to be 1GB RAM. NO MATTER how much my HDD Size is.
Having that said, I do have NO problems at all whether installing from a
LiveCD or LiveUSB.

Trust me, my hardware not from the moon, these old stuff from earth :D

Thank you!
