it's true that most of the time 12BG is more than enough for me and i don't use swap space on disk. i wouldn't go for a swapless system, though, specially since i'm going to put things on tmpfs. a few GB (i'm thinking about 8) of swap space on disk won't hurt, and i'd feel safer. that's the idea of reducing swappiness to 1 or 0, anyway. best, lj
