Depends on what you're doing. Netscape, emacs, gimp are all
applications that can take up lots of memory. Best to err on the high
side, especially if you have enough disk space.
I would want at least 128MB minimum of memory+swap these days and
would prefer more. The 2.0 kernels had a limitation of 128MB per swap
partition, but I'm pretty certain that went away in the 2.2 kernels.
Sounds like you're a beginner so I'd make a 128MB swap partition and
that should do for a while. If you have the disk space, make two
128MB swap partitions.
