I have 128 too, and I have a 256 meg swap partition. With disk space as
cheap as it is now adays, what's 256 meg? You'd probably be fine with a
128 meg swap, but the way I see it is if you want it in the future it's
more difficult to repartition ;-)
(I don't know that I've ever used even 128 of it yet, but it doesn't
hurt to have surplus)
