my manual says " you should create a swap partition that does not exceed
twice the size of your physical ram or 128 mb which ever is less. for
example if you have 32 mb of ram you can create a 64 mb swap partition.
(partition type linus swap)"
personally I set it up so that no gui's open automatically.
then i start
xinit (this start xwindows)
then type the gui you want to load
kde
or enlightenment
I like enlightenment
my 6 yr old likes the kde
the only reason I did this was because I need to learn the commands to
function from the prompt not a gui.
