Looking at this screenshot, (specifically urxvt screen):
http://oak.cobaltpointe.com/~watson/images/df.png
Does this mean I have no swap partition?
I see there is space for what is probably supposed to be swap, but I don't think it was setup properly.
How would I fix this if it's wrong?
Thanks.

Everything is set up correctly, except that emptyswap thing (where did you get that?).

262576 is the total amount of swap you have. You are using 0, so you have 262576 free.
total used free
swap: 262576 0 262576

The emptyswap thing is a script I got from a user here, if you search it in the forums you'll probably find it (it's actually on the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Empty_Swap ), it just empties the swap to optimize.
I noticed the 262576 total swap, but the "used" column is always 0 whenever I have run it. I guess everything is fine, I just don't know why "df" gives me a "none" filesystem mounted on "/dev/shm." Does anyone have an explanation for this?

shm stands for shared memory. This enables apps to share data contained in the memory. It's normal that df gives "none" as the filesystem because it's not really an actual filesystem.
