Is this statement true ? A max of 128 mg of swap ?
That is rubbish - where did you read that?
This is not rubbish. Your reaction just speaks of how long you have been using Linux. It's better be called Linux history. SuSE Linux 6.4 Installation, Configuration, First Steps, p.62: "If your system is still running with the 2.0.xx kernel, you should bear in mind that a swap partition chould be no larger than 128 MB; Linux can, however, quite easily manage 8 such partitions -- and even 64 with slight modifications. For the 2.2.xx kernel the limit of the swap partition is 2 GB" Regards, -Kastus
