[kwlug-disc] Add swap space while a centos server is live.

[Colin K]

I have a feeling that this host may bank on the fact that we may never
properly use all of our resources kindof like a Gmail 7gigs thing Most
people never use it thats why we can offer it.  Sort of thing.

But were a top20 server for minecraft on some of the minecraft server lists
we get some pretty heavy loyal and regular traffic.
