Depends on how much Mem you currently have and what you will be doing with
the box.
I myself am an OLD school SA/SE and still live by the old proverb of swap
should be 2 times greater than you memory
so I have 128mb of ram right now and my swap space is freaking huge! (256mb
swap)
It will not hurt to set swap to 128 and then /home to like 1gb
Regards,
Ron

Subject: Re: [newbie] /home partition -- how?
Dear Ken:
Thanks so much for your explanation.
Question: if I assign 3 gig to / , how much PRECISELY do I assign to
/home (being the only user on a single machine), that is, do I assign
the full 1.3 gig that is left over from my 4.3 gig HD or do I need to
leave 128 meg for the swap file or should I assign 1 gig to /home, 128
meg to the swap file and leave the rest unused? Do you have to leave
some meg unused for Linux to use as it sees fit? Does it need some extra
space beyond the 128 meg swap file?
Thanks so very much.
Benjamin
