Linux will not use a swap partition over 128. if you need more swap space, make two swap partitions. Benjamin wrote: > > Dear friends: > > Last question: > > I have an AMD K6-2 400 Mhrtz with 128 megs of real RAM. Should I go for > a 128 swap file or a 256 swap file? Any special advantage to h

[newbie] /swap file - 128 or 256

Dear friends: Last question: I have an AMD K6-2 400 Mhrtz with 128 megs of real RAM. Should I go for a 128 swap file or a 256 swap file? Any special advantage to having a 256 swap file? Thanks so much. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.
