I don't think this is true anymore. It was back when machines had small amounts of ram. Case in point, I have 16Gbs of ram. If I have a program that needs more than that, I need a bigger machine anyway. Since ram has got so large, and cheap, I always make my swap around 1Gb or so. If something does run away and eat up ram, I got enough swap that I have time to kill it. I would not make a 32Gb swap partition tho. That would slow about any machine to a crawl if it starts using that much. I think the new method for determining swap is to use what makes sense and not the old rule of 'twice the ram'. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
