# Short-Description: Increased Performance In Linux With zRam (Virtual Swap Compressed in RAM)
# Description: Adapted from systemd scripts at https://github.com/mystilleef/FedoraZram
# Included as part of antix-goodies package by anticapitalista <antiX@operamail.com>
# This script was written by tradetaxfree and is found at http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/15344/zram-a-good-idea/
# Copy this script (as root) from /usr/local/bin to /etc/init.d and then #update-rc.d zram defaults
# After booting verify the module is loaded with: lsmod | grep zram
