Desktop, big deal But if its a mission critical server, add some, bescides HD space is pretty cheap now. From one machine that doesn't quite have 1 GB of ram.... last pid: 30202; load averages: 0.06, 0.01, 0.00 up 4+09:29:04 13:20:58 56 processes: 1 running, 55 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.6%idl= e Mem: 24M Active, 169M Inact, 92M Wired, 8K Cache, 99M Buf, 592M Free Swap: 1776M Total, 1776M Free My desktop is offline, else I'd show you its stats, its got 1.25 GB of ram, and 1 GB of swap.... Things just fly.... I don't think I've ever pushed it into swap, either way, its better safe than sorry to have some.
