[Sheflug] /swap

[Harvey Kelly <nospam [at] clara.co.uk>]

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question:

I know I'm going to get a number of different answers to this, but... is
there any kind of definitive amount for /swap?  I ask as my system ground
to a halt a couple of days ago - and I mean a halt.  Okay I was running
Mozilla, Konqueror (x3), StarOffice, all within Enlightenment, but my
computer couldn't do a thing for a full five or six minutes, with lots of
lovely grinding noises from my (quick) hard drive.  I've got 128MB RAM
(PIII450), and 320MB for /swap.

Is 320MB okay?  Or non-okay?  I've kept a bit of space at the tail-end of
the hard drive for emergencies - should I increase /swap?

Thanks

Harvey
