title: android studio on a machine with less than 2GB RAM
body: <p>My laptop is a bit old...only 1.8GB RAM....Android installs good but when I load a project it freezes with the gradle stuff.</p>
  
  <p>I tried android studion on Windows XP, Ubuntu, tiny core, puppy and now lastly BBQLinux. Each of them have same issue freezing at the gradle stuff...except windows xp which says something like '%1 is not a windows application'!</p>
  
  <p>My question is that can I use swap as RAM, how to enable swap in BBQLinux? Will it make a difference? or is there another alternative?</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to upgrade laptop as I just want to build a simple app for my phone.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
