I plugged in a "WD SSD Passport" USB disk, it supports BIO_DELETE and
performs so much better than a SD card, that swapon(8) is a good idea.

I will also repeat again:  We ignore the RPi4 at our peril.

RPi's are a LOT easier to get hold of for hackers and in particular
for educators.

We may not want to use them ourselves, but we should keep that
part of the on-ramp open, in particular for young people.
