Sure.
I dont think that any of my machines ever reached half of the swap.
Dont worry what Redhat says, I think they made this up for huge memory hungry
applications. Your standard ones (httpd,sendmail,ftp,bind,etc) they only need
small amounts for each process spawned. And if you have half of your memory
available for that kind of thing you have plenty (and that is what you will
get with your next setup).
I think I read somewhere if you do a redhat install and you have too little
swap space it creates the missing amount as a swap file (which I think is really
stupid).
