Hi Chris, I've heard if you have more than 1 GB of memory, swap can be 1 GB with no need to be more. People also say to have swap on each drive to allow for faster access to it. when folks had 64mb of memory, it was a bigger issue. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
