That is correct. The "swap should be twice the RAM" rule holds true fo
Small comment:

as far as I know this rule-of-thumb comes from
unices which will not use RAM unless they have

Of course, in this case, with 32MB of RAM
he could use 128MB of swap.

When this happens, can you run `top' in a xterm (make sure you still have
one free). I'll bet that X will be running at ~95% cpu and more.
In any case, I advise on enlarging your swap to at least 64MB.

Yes, that's a problem. The swap partition size must be at least
as twice as physical RAM. And for slow machines like yours, I'd suggest
at least 128 Mb of swap partition.
And if you use huge X applic

What machine is that ? How much memory ? How large is the swap ?
Do you run as root ? Do you observe this behaviour under other
applications ?
Any special thing we should know about ? What kernel ?

I'm having some trouble with Linux. Whenever some application starts
taking up way too much memory (netscape with its leaks) and I run out,
my system starts hard-drive thrashing like crazy and becomes totally
unresponsive.
I can't do anything but ALT+SYSREQ my way to a reboot.
Is there any way to
