Well, that used to be the rule of thumb for a Linux-specific problem with swap space. Today, you can run without swap without a problem. I keep a gig of swap on hand to avoid out of memory problems at all costs and have never hit that. A sane default today would be to set your swap size to at least the size of your current physical memory. I suggest using a swap space equivilent to the maximum amount of memory your board can support, though this is generally considered massive overkill given how cheap RAM is these days. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBeLDRUzgNqloQMwcRAvsTAJkBHvZzoQLX40Q9V90fJ2XgD9uagACeLQzi lm5g8dYHlNTwwUVMjlMEr3k= =k2L0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
