Hello,
I recently upgraded my RAM from 16MB to 32MB. I typically run fvwm,
netscape, TeX, emacs and gcc and will probably never have more than
2 users on the system at any given time. When I installed my system,
I only dedicated 32MB of swap space. I have read some discussion that
swap space should be 32MB or 2.5 times the size of physical memory,
whichever is larger.
Do you feel that I should increase swap space to get the optimal
benefit from my new RAM upgrade? If so, is there a way to do this
without reinstalling my system?
A reply to the e-mail address at
metcalf@imagine.com
would be greatly appreciated.
JM
PS. I noticed some discussion in the FreeBSD FAQ concerning adding
swap space. Should I just follow that procedure, or are there other
concerns here?
