Installing Kolab on a system with 1GB and no swap

[Christian Tardif]

My two cents, here (it won't solve your Kolab problem, though). NEVER 
run a Linux system without any swap enabled. This is part of a normal 
Linux system, and actually part of any modern operating system. The SWAP 
is used for many things, and for temporary lack of memory, where the 
system will flush unused RAM at that particular moment on the SWAP file 
or SWAP partition to release, temporarily, the RAM for other tasks.  
Even if SWAP doesn't replace RAM, SWAP is needed on any modern system.

Add SWAP, and you'll free yourself from some common problems.
