Ditto, I have 128 MB of RAM and set up 128 MB of swap (6 GB of hard drive
space, what can I say?). The only time I've even needed swap is when netscape
leaks memory (don't keep it up for more than 5 days) or when I ran a PHP/Mysql
query that returned several million records and ate up all of my RAM and swap.
(I just love kill -SIGKILL)
