Can't say I'm surprised. Phoronix occasionally has some interesting articles, and is often the first to publish breaking news, but the articles get a bit repetitive, and Michael's benchmark/testing methodology leaves a bit to be desired. Some of the graphs portray highly accurate, useless information.
The Phoronix site itself is pretty unbearable without an ad-blocker. Were it not for AdBlock Plus, I wouldn't visit the site at all. So, I'm not surprised at all that Larabel is selling out.
I just tried installing on my old T500 with a fresh daily image from today. The partitioner still warns me that I haven't configured a swap partition, and asks me if I want to go back to the partitioning menu. If I click "No", it takes me back anyway. If I click "Continue", it proceeds with the install (which didn't happen a few weeks ago when I installed on my T530).
So... still buggy, but at least not as bad as before. Next time I reinstall the T50 (probably in April, with the official release), it'll be with no swap partition :)
Nothing, except that it's an unnecessary step as a result of a bug in the installer. The point of a beta testing is to find/classify/fix bugs, is it not?
Besides, if I took your approach, I'd also have to use gparted to extend the remaining partitions on the disk, after deleting the swap partition... or tolerate unused/unpartitioned space on an expensive SSD.
