also i have 128MB RAM. so what should be the size of my Swap partition?
Anywhere between 0 and 256 MB, depending on things you haven't told us. Relative to real RAM, swap is very slow, and you'll want to avoid using it for anything that is time sensitive. So to know whether you need swap, you need to think about what actual uses you will be making of the system, so you can figure out what is appropriate. And honestly, these days I find RAM cheap enough that if I see a system that actually makes use of its swap partition, I just put more RAM in it.
In practice, I've run systems with as little as 64 MB of RAM with no swap, and I no longer ever bother with swap on systems that have 256 MB or more of real RAM.
