Long answer: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/swap-allocation.html Of special interest would be this line: "If your calculated swap space is very much larger than your physical memory (more than a couple times larger), you should probably invest in more physical memory, otherwise performance will be too low." In other words, if you actually need 384MB of swap, you might need to buy more RAM, depending on what you're doing. I doubt you actually need that much, though. BTW, all of that being said, most of my boxes have either the same amount of swap as physical RAM, or twice as much. :-) Production boxes, of course, are more carefully allocated. -- Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong
