As others have pointed out, that's probably too much in today's scenarios. One minimum... if you ever intend to use suspend-to-disk, you obviously need enough swap space to store the contents of RAM. In that case, RAM + 4 gigabytes should suffice. Otherwise, 8 gigabytes looks OK, unless it's a server that gets pounded on. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
