I'm going to create multiple boot environment on my notebook machine (Windows with several Linux distros). Is it good idea to create only one swap partition and share it among all installed linuix distros? I mean the same swap space (partition) will be used as /swap for all installed distros. Could one distro jeopardize another one if they all use this same swap space?
