Ubuntu swap space

If you want to use ubuntu, there is 2 type of typical installation

1. Install in windows (called wubi i think)
2. Install in empty partition (means you format you partition or resize)

For 'I want to try' users. Just take no1 it seriously awesome and easy

For 'I can use ubuntu!' users. Option 2 is additional

Note that if you format window, they will reset the boot loader (not sure the real term) so you ubuntu will not displayed. (I still not reach a level on how to get solve this problem, but do believe it is 99% can be recover)

Installing 1st option require no skill, but 2nd option does require some knowledge

For anyone who didnt know about linux (like me) this might be helpful. Others this is newbie

Lets proceed with 'how to install using the 2nd option'

1. During installation you need to specify 'where you want to install the ubuntu'

They will show 3 option
1. Install side by side (I already forgot about this, but do use it once)
2. Install in whole (format 100% you hdd, all partition)
3. Install in specific

This post is about option 3

When you select option 3, you can choose which partition you want to format and install ubuntu on it

Remind that you need to make 2 partition. 1st is the real partition and the 2nd will be the 'temporary what? i forgot'

1st partition will be a dropdown writing 'ext4'
make 2nd partiton 2G space only! (this is the reason I write this post, cause my newbieness create 10G space yo). They type was 'swap space'

note that there is a debate on how many swap space you should allocate. This 2GB is my opinion after 30min of google

After setting up this 2 partitions just proceed like normal (cause installing ubuntu was easy)
