[KLUG Members] 2 GB swap space?

[Darrel Ray Clute, III]

Yes the rule of thumb is to use twice the size of RAM for swap.  This of
course was prior to cheap and available RAM 512M+.  I personally have
never used more than 512M of swap, most of the time just 256M since the
RAM capacity is so high that it rarely if ever will need to purge to
swap.
