It is my experience that Linux is exceedingly efficient at managing memory, and swap space seldom gets used unless you're for some reason consuming oodles of memory . Are you using only text mode or loading KDE or somesuch? If it's only a running services and X never gets loaded, I'm not surprised that the swap isn't being used. Cheers, Ricardo J.
