[KLUG Members] 2 GB swap space?

[Adam Bultman]

Well, the other side of the coin is what I'm trying to clean up after; all 
the servers here have 128 MB swap space.  A few of my servers here are 
almost exhausting their RAM; I managed to add RAM to the other ones with 
128 MB of swap. But man. Who only gives a *server* 128 MB of swap?
