Is there a way to list your swap partitions and files? I thought "mount" would do it, but there's nothing related to swap there. Also, I have heard alot of things about swap sizes - some people say it should be the same MB as you RAM, some say double your RAM, some people say it has to be in 128 MB increments, and some say that's not true, it can all be one big partition. Can anyone give some clarification about this, or point to some reliable documentation?

man mkswap This will give you a lot of technical info. My rule of thumb is the swap size should be twice the physical memory and have a swap file on each drive. If you read the man file, you will find out that a i386 architecture system can have a maximum 2Gb swap and can be spread over eight devices.

I too have heard many stories about swap sizes...
/etc/fstab shows swap file size.
At the moment I have 384MB ram and no swap pertition....
Also in KDE Control panel there is a listing of the swap size that is
currently running.
