if you run two distros on a dual cpu machine at the same time (one distro per cpu), you will need two separate swap partitions
When I had two distros on my Linux box (single cpu, though), I made them share a single swap space. Hey Kenneth, can you explain how you would allocate the two swap spaces to the two different cpu's ? I have never worked on a SMP machine myself and its intriguing.
sorry, i'm bound by an NDA
Maybe you should have a look at xen http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/index.html
Although I dont have a dual box I was able to run slackware 10.0 under xen
sensational - i think i'm going to opt out of my NDA
