I might finally get around to partitioning my disk with Fedora...
Anyone remember the release of Fedora where the most exciting new feature was how it rendered JPEGs "slightly faster"? It was either 15 or 16...

The swappiness parameter controls the tendency of the kernel to move processes out of physical memory and onto the swap disk. Because disks are much slower than RAM, this can lead to slower response times for system and applications if processes are too aggressively moved out of memory.
The default setting in Ubuntu is swappiness=60. Reducing the default value of swappiness will probably improve overall performance for a typical Ubuntu desktop installation. A value of swappiness=10 is recommended, but feel free to experiment. Note: Ubuntu server installations have different performance requirements to desktop systems, and the default value of 60 is likely more suitable.
sudo apt-get upgradekeeping all the repositories activate.
