Do I still need a swap partition.
One gcc instance rarely needs more than 0.5gb, so the RAM requirement would be 0.5*cpu_core_count. For serious development work, 20GB of HDD space sounds like a sane minimum, and you are very unlikely to actually find a use for more than 30GB. You can use less than 20 GB, but I don't think your convenience is worth 5-7GB saved even at SSD prices. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
