RAM is so cheap now, that if you start using swap heavily people just
drop in a bit more !
I tend to roughly match swap and memory. At least when i first install.

Hi Slug,
I've decided to increase the RAM on my home CentOS server. As best I
can recall, the accepted wisdom is to have SWAP approx.~ 2 x RAM. Or
was that approx.~ 50% of RAM?
Can someone point me in the direction of an explicit tutorial on how I
might go about increasing SWAP without destroying data on my other
partitions please?
Or if I'm actually upping the RAM, should I just not worry about it?
These days there's no hard rules about swap. The old rule was 2 x RAM.
I don't think you mentioned how much ram you had or how big your swap was,
but if you aren't running out of swap, you don't need any more.
