Perhaps not, but our favorite upstream vendor's default setups do
create a swap partition, by default. While RAM is not the same thing
as swap and I'm having good success now with VM's that have 1 Gig of
RAM, I use some swap space. ignoring thoste standards is something you
do at your own peril, both for installation and for operations.
