Linux Swap partition

This may be a stupid question, but I was wondering if you can boot linux off of one drive and have the swap partition on another? The reason that I am asking is because I want to boot off of a CF card, which obviously is not suited for swapping. I am planning on having a usb hard drive for storage and the swap drive, is this possible?
 
You can put the swap partition wherever you want - just change the location in /etc/fstab.

For that matter, nothing strictly prevents you from running without a swap partition at all. Of course, if you run out of memory you'll crash the system. But depending on what you're doing, that may not be much of an issue...
