      That way you’ll know you’ve run out of physical memory when the cd-rom starts spinning up.

        Linux doesn’t wait for you to be out of memory to swap-out pages.

            That’s exactly why we need a CD ROM based solution to explore how swap space works…/s

            You could use a combination of printer and scanner as swap with the right driver…
