I am new to Linux, and I have some problems:

I have a 70Mb RAM, 2.5 Gb HD 120 Mhz Pentium. My linux is SuSE 5.1 and I
have a 0,9 Gb Linux partition (ext2 fs) and a 60 Mb Swap Partition. My
problem is that when I open many programs and I run out of memory my system
did not swap it to disk.
I have tried to change the priority of swap (in etc/fstab I think), it was
-1. But my problem is the same: the machine hangs.

I have recompiled the kernel with different options and it does no work.
Please tell me the appropiate priority for swaping.

Thank You.
        Enrique
