i'm a bit confused about the use of swap space on the linux file system.  i
partitioned the disk manually and devoted about 32mb to it, but every time i
hit "df" it says that while i have 30464 available, none of it is used...

does it ever get used?  do i have to enable something somewhere to make sure
it gets used?  here's the output of df:

  Filesystem    1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
  /dev/hda2       7872920   3926616   3546380  53% /
  /dev/hda1         51206     13282     35280  28% /boot
  /dev/hdc1      78786704  10252240  64532304  14% /home/web
  none              30464         0     30464   0% /dev/shm


an additional question:
i'm going to be putting more ram in this box, probably totalling 256 (right
now it's stuck at 64).  will i have to devote more hard disc to swap?  if
so, how?
