Re: Swap Space



Just to pitch in :)

The web server/ftp server at CFNi has 128 MB RAM.  I put a 240 MB
Quantum in the box for the sole purpose of serving as a swap device.
The server sees a good load now and then, but I've never seen it swap
unless I'm running vi.  At least, that seems to make it swap ... it's
only a few kbytes.
