Sure. In fact, I was suprised that Redhat REQUIRED me to set up a swap
partition. I usually install without swap, then use a swapfile, so I can change
the size without messing with partitions. Slackware and, I believe, Caldera, do
not require swap, although they "recommend" it.
   As long as you don't run X, you can run Linux in 8 MB without swap space. 12
Mb should be fine. (I wouldn't try X, though)
