I've got this 4G HD sitting around and I figured I would use it as a "swap
drive" for an installation I'm doing. (Debian, maybe, if I can be
convinced I'm still geeky enough.)

My question is, would the Linux kernel get more use out of the drive if I
partitioned it up into, say, 4 1G partitions or just left it as one, big
swap space?

Or...does it matter?
