> These days I'm down to 32M core and up to 64M swap. Good Old X11R6... :-) hmmm... disk space being cheapo as it is nowadays, it never hurts to have swap around... my 64M system has 256M swap, and _yes_, i once, so far, did run out of swap! from the past i recall some old unix thumb rule to have at least 2.5 times the amount of memory as swap. in machines where i use multiple disks, i normally swap about 128M each, no matter how huge swap i'd gain that way. also, it's rather understandable, i think, that people who are saved from limux world into bsd world might be little confused how much swap an unix machine needs, considering limux uses it's vm-system differently...
