How do I make two linux partitions share a swap partition?

How do I make two linux partitions share a swap partition? I have two Ubuntu linux partitions, and each has its own swap space. Is it possible to make them use the same swap space?

You just have to edit your /etc/fstab files to list the same partition as swap for both. Beware however that if you hibernate one and then start the other the "hibernated" state will be gone.
