Because to a person who is just "trying out" linux by allocating 5-6GB of hard disk space, 2GB does matter a lot :) The person is already taking some effort and trying out a GNU/Linux distro. He/She is already making space of 6-7 GB just to try out what this hoopla about Free and Open Source software is all about. This 6-7GB of partition is not accessible from her favorite operating system(well, not by default). Non techie users will always go by age old wisdom handed by techie users(which was swap = 2 * RAM in this case). However sometimes we have to revise wisdom from time to time :) My 2 ps. -Devendra Laulkar. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
