Depends on how much memory you have... wollman@khavrinen(44)$ swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0b 36288 0 36224 0% Interleaved /dev/wd1b 49152 0 49088 0% Interleaved Total 85312 0 85312 0% Granted, the machine's not doing anything right now, but even when it does it rarely swaps since everything fits just fine in 40 MB of main memory. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
