I've looked at that page, that page does not say anything you've said, and doesn't oppose to anything I've said... > I would strongly advise against removing the swap partition.

That means, only a bit more than one quarter of whole RAM is used for programs. using swap will probably not give you more performance and turning it off should not cause any performance degradation... -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
