I’m using an ubuntu 12 installation on a Droplet. Is there a way to add a swap partition or at least set up a swap so if memory leaks over the limit it can swap to disk?

Please please…when we create a new droplet, have some dropdown parameter that says “swap space” so that newbies don’t get confused when their programs start dying because of lack of swap RAM!
