	Hibernate/suspend, no. Sleep, probably enable that, simply for power 
saving. Of course, if I find the machine starts up quick enough, then I 
probably won't even worry about using sleep, or any other power-saving 
features. Just to maintain reliability...
	As for not needing swap space, I'm confused. When did that change? Or 
have I just completely mis-understood the point/need of swap space? 
Which is quite possible...
