I got me a 4B 4Gig, and bought me tiny 128 Gig USB plug, stuck it into
the back, configured sufficient Swap space on it and added it to fstab.

Was going to hook one of my 1T SSD USB-3 drives in but when I compiled a
reasonably large program with make -j4 I noticed it didn't even use
any swap space at all :-)-O so I'll probably just leave the plug in.
