Virtual memory is built into many operating systems. Since they
each need it only when they are running, i.e., never at the same
time, the swap spaces of all but the currently running one are being
wasted. It would be more efficient for them to share a single
swap space. This is possible, but can require a bit of hacking.
The Tips-HOWTO contains some advice on how to implement this.
