partition can be beneficial as it gives you the possibility of having your user 
files survive a reinstall of Ubuntu.
•  If you've used Linux before, you may be familiar with the concept of a 
swap partition
, which is a special partition that can act as RAM when your 
memory becomes full. This is no longer necessary—a 
swap file
 will be 
created automatically in newer Ubuntu releases.
When we perform our installation in the next section, we'll choose the defaults for 
the partitioning scheme to get you started quickly. However, I recommend you 
come back to the installation process at some point in the future and experiment 
with it. You may come up with some clever ways to split up your storage. However, 
you don't have to—having everything in one partition is fine too, depending on 
your needs.
Now that we have an understanding of what partitioning is, we should have all of 
the essential topics covered to enable us to actually get the installation of Ubuntu 
Server going. Let's go ahead and work on that now.
