Yeah I was puzzled about the swap space deal too. So I did some research on
it. It appears that the older versions of Linux would not use a swap space
larger than 128MB although you could create more than one swap partition.
The newer distros (not sure when) can have up to a GB of swap space. I have
a swap partition on my system of 251MB & 256MB RAM. Rarely does it go to
swap, so it's kind of useless. If you are running a server it might be a
different issue though.
