Here is a GParted tutorial that will give you a better idea of how it works than just our descriptions:  http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html

Hello!

Thanks for covering my back on that. I definitely DID forget about having to turn off the swap file, even though, now that I recall, I've had to do that before a time or few myself...

Sounds fine to me N4RPS.

Couple side notes:

* When using live DVD/USB it will usually mount and use the swap partition on the hard drive.  If you try moving/resizing swap partition it won't let you.  You'll need to right-click the partition (in GParted interface) and choose "Swapoff" before doing anything with it.
* Size of swap partition is highly subjective and everyone has there own preferences.  Most important to consider is whether you plan on hibernating the computer.  If "yes", then make swap partition (at minimum) slightly more than amount of RAM on your computer.
