Greetings

Article looks interesting except the systemd provisions are attributes and and
are not mentioned. Bottom of  the article indicates a somewhat recent editing
date but with no mention of systemd I have further questions. The article
mentions places to change 'swappiness' and I can find the actual file but there
is nothing in the sysctl.conf (IIRC the name) file re: swappiness. Somehow I
would prefer something that did refer to systemd foibles as well for a guide so
as not to really pooch anything.

I, too, am interested largely because I have lots of ram and wouldn't mind
speed enhancements.
