My $0.02's worth re. swap:
Suppose you are consistently using 256MB of swap on your fairly up-to-date

And, in case it's of any help, here is some info about my layout.

- Swapping sucks.
- Running out of memory sucks more.
- Repartitioning sucks most.
There's also a lot of obsolete data floating around about GNU/Linux in
general.
I have a question that seems appropriate here. In

Check out the latest ac kernel and the latest linus kernel also. Linus has
been working on vm balancing as a top priority recently and the latest ac
has a patch to fix the swap=2*ram thing.
