That's the confusion. I am running 196 megs on my laptop so I should double this. But on my home system I am running 512mb so should I then make a 1gig swap? If not why?

How much memory is installed in you Linux box? -----Original Message----- From: Paul Kraus [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 1:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Swap Partititon Ok now this is confusing. 4.1.3.1. The most simple Is where you have just two partitions: one for the swap space, the other for the files1. Tip: The rule of thumb for the swap partition size is to choose double of the size of your RAM memory. However for large memory configurations (>512 MB), this rule is not valid, and smaller sizes are preferred. Says to double your ram to create your swap file then it contradicts itself. Can someone explain exactly how this should be done and maybe some theory behind it? I don't just like knowing how I like to now why. Thanks.
