-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hey, the swap question has come up for me now as I will probably be rebuilding my Linux environment. The old days with small memory, it was recommended to have a swap something like twice the system memory. But with larger systems, that seems less valid as I've been hearing. I have 2 GB of main system memory and when I include the high-memory option in the kernel, I get all of it available to me. With 2 gigs, would it be necessary to have any swap at all? I mean, with this big a machine, could I go and install Linux and not have a swap at all? I will probably be doing Slackware again do to my familiarity with it. When I looked briefly at Debian the other day, it appeared to me that the installer would insist on building a swap partition regardless of my memory size. I'm just wondering if anyone has some ideas on this topic. Thanks. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHgeaIWSjv55S0LfERA0fDAJ9/LmLZ+G2OOyAqzbGSubo/YbctXwCgq2gB Yv42oBYY+42Lc1dcQZ2na9E= =jErU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
