## Why did I make these two scripts?
I use Debian as my daily driver (I've been using Linux in some for or the other as my daily driver since 2006). I also us Debian for all my servers. I also running a webhosting business (https://www.zaks.web.za) and in my 20+ years in the game, I have learned that... 1. VPS's do not come with SWAP, but sometimes you need a bit of SWAP to handle heavy load. 2. SWAP files can be added and removed on the fly (no reboot required), however a SWAP partition, not so simple.

On my daily driver machine, I also create a lot of digital artwork. I recently found myself rendering a finished artfile that was 9.5GB (24000px by 13700px) in Gimp, and half way through I started running out of RAM and SWAP. So I quickly created the needed SWAP file, and Gimp was able to finish the render without crashing.
