AFAIK, UNIX uses slices and partitions.
Actually, the only safe thing you can say is that UNIX uses devices that can be used for storage. I wish you could say more, but you really can't.
With regards to sharing of swap.. in reality, the answer is "no", but you could certainly do it, you'd just have to format for the right system every time. The reason why the answer is really "no" is because swap is sometimes used for more than swap (e.g. for hibernating in the case of Linux.. which isn't really UNIX, but figured it deserves mention). Implementing a "shared swap" (again, not really shared) across multiple distros of whatever is something you'd have to implement on your own. Not really for "newbies". Just saying...
IMHO, you may need to focus on your CPU cooling? If the CPU needs to run hot, it need to run hot. I'd hate to gamble thinking I can make it run cool all of the time.

glib::flags
Glib::Flags(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Glib::Flags(3pm)
NAME
Glib::Flags - Overloaded operators representing GLib flags
HIERARCHY
Glib::Flags
DESCRIPTION
Glib maps flag and enum values to the nicknames strings provided by the underlying C libraries. Representing flags this way in Perl is an
interesting problem, which Glib solves by using some cool overloaded operators.
The functions described here actually do the work of those overloaded operators. See the description of the flags operators in the "This
Is Now That" section of Glib for more info.
METHODS
scalar = $class->new ($a)
o $a (scalar)
Create a new flags object with given bits. This is for use from a subclass, it's not possible to create a "Glib::Flags" object as such.
For example,
my $f1 = Glib::ParamFlags->new ('readable');
my $f2 = Glib::ParamFlags->new (['readable','writable']);
An object like this can then be used with the overloaded operators.
scalar = $a->all ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
aref = $f->as_arrayref
Return the bits of $f as a reference to an array of strings, like ['flagbit1','flagbit2']. This is the overload function for "@{}", ie.
arrayizing $f. You can call it directly as a method too.
Note that @$f gives the bits as a list, but as_arrayref gives an arrayref. If an arrayref is what you want then the method style
somefunc()->as_arrayref can be more readable than [@{somefunc()}].
bool = $f->bool
Return 1 if any bits are set in $f, or 0 if none are set. This is the overload for $f in boolean context (like "if", etc). You can call
it as a method to get a true/false directly too.
integer = $a->eq ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
integer = $a->ge ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->intersect ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
integer = $a->ne ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->sub ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->union ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->xor ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
