Re: [BLUG] Amarok

So it detects it, and both still use the swap space?

I've tried A LOT of distros.  I liked Mepis a lot, but I liked a few others better.  My favorites were Mandriva and Fedora but I couldn't get the sound to work (and yes I did try the obvious and turn the volume up on everything I could find).
Another question:

If I add another linux distro, do I need to add another swap partition or will the other distro recognize and use it?

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.
