Doesn't matter how much (or little) swap you have. What matters is how much free memory you have, including swap. If you run out, you run out. There's no magic number. Take a look at top or procinfo. If you're close to maxing out your swap space, you have issues. Either add more RAM, more swap, or limit your memory consumption (e.g. run xfce instead of kde, or pine instead of Evolution). You can add a swap file instead of a new swap partition if you can't reallocate your partitions. Read the mkswap man page for instructions on creating a swap file inside an existing file system. -- "Of course I'm in shape!
