I read somewhere that the 2.4 kernel works better with swap at least 2 times the physical ram.
Linus Torvalds said so himself on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (although I can't immediately find the link.
That said, I want to make a diskless fanless silent workstation (netbooting) so I won't have anything to swap onto. If I just bung in a Gig of ram...?
I built a diskless, fanless silent firewall (netbooting) around SuSE 7.2, by chucking in 384 MB RAM. It netbooted from an FTP server, and once booted, ran entirely from ramdisk. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
