So, ok, I was out of line and I'm sorry for upsetting you guys. I had a small laugh when I was reading the comments; I can remember countless occasions where I responded in quite the same fashion.
The thing I was pointing at - and I didn't get across - was that, in order for all of this coding magic, skill and effort to help create a workable user experience for the regular user (noobs, in other words), it would really help out if best practices where to be gathered and to be put into safe-to-use packages. I think Swappolube and CSSU are key examples of this, and the thing I wanted to discuss is how we could get to such a thing. So, really, I was trying to help out. The point that upset me, is the short and oh-so-elite answer: 'well, this thing here does that, go enjoy' while, at that point, this didn't seem to meet the thing I was trying to contribute to/achieve.
-- short offtopic thing on education and mentality: I'm a Mechanical Engineer, trying to work on a sustainable energy future. I'm involved in political organisations, do some volunteer work, active member of our local Church and I'm this guy really keen on discussing Linux and open-source at birthday parties. So I think you guys would actually, you know, like me, but that's something you sometimes just can't get across in these internet discussions..
So, back to the topic. I would like to create a guide for getting swap-to-microSD to work, achievable for the average user, of which I am a prime example. I'm starting from a Windows 7 environment, the wiki on repartitioning, swapset and will try to create this.
TL;DR: apologies, and I'll try to create this guide myself.
