1) Depends on the amount of memory your applications will be using, linux handles swap a little different than most unixs. 2) A swap partition can not exceed 2gb and you can not have more than 4 swap partitions. Now Im not sure if this a per disk limitation or a total limitation 3) depends on how hard you swap is being hit, if its hit alot I would say yes since the disk access time is quicker in the beginning. 4) its a combo of 7.1/7.2 with 2.4.9 kernel.
