New mobo (P4 1.7 GHz, 256M, 845 Intel chipset w/DDR memory, 2 IDE hds on
chan #0). Ext2 filesystem, tho I have an Elx partition mounted that is
ReiserFS and also a vfat Win partition. Not sure what you're asking
specifically about swap but 'free' says:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 255532 184120 71412 1024 3196 95168
-/+ buffers/cache: 85756 169776
Swap: 321260 0 321260
