Ack! I've already got 128MB of RAM ... don't need a 300MB swap partition 
too, IMO.  I have a 128MB swap partition, I figure that'll be plenty for 
use as a workstation.

Of course, if you're setting up a server then by all means, set up a larger 
swap partition if you really think you'll need it.

Just my $0.02 worth...
