Back in the 2.0 (?) days when we built our first servers, several people advised us to set up at least a small swap partition because the VMM handled it better (faster) than a swapless situation. True or not, most of our servers have 128MB of swap as a result. Given that I have no desire to repartition a server, nor dedicate a gig or two to getty, I'm left with using what I have or disabling swap altogether if we move to 2.4. Is 2.4.6+ stable in either situation? Is the reduction in total memory the only downside to disabling swap entirely?
