Ubuntu - Update

Well, its not that far away from the release of Ubuntu 8.04 (One day - hahahaha), and I finally have gotten around to fixing a problem I have been having with 7.1

Every now and then it would sudden spin up the HDD and completely hog all of the resources and die. I finally tracked it down to a problem with the swap. So I set up a swapfile based on this FAQ, but instead of the 512Mb example, I made it 1024Mb.

Now the computer appears to work with no real issues, and I can even use Compiz at Full wizz.

Makes for an all together great experience.
