Hmmm... Mandriva is KDE and Fedora is Gnome... but they're both RPM
distros. Me, I'm sold on debs. I'll make an exception for PCLinuxOS, but
only because it uses apt/Synaptic.
If you install another distro, the installer's partitioner should detect
your existing swap and set it up automagically. It's not necessary to
create multiple swaps.
