I don't do things that way. Why would you want to use swap when ram is orders of magnitudes faster and cheap? I have several Centos server from a p-3 1ghz all the way to a p-d 2.8 ghz. I have put centos 4.4 on a p-3 550 with 256 megs of ram. The instant i could i added another 256 megs of ram because swap was chuggin the box. I don't change processors every upgrade. hell my current machine is 5+ years old and has lived through windows 2k and xp and will get vista. it has done centos 3 and now centos 4. i don't advocate nor practice the windows way of hardware management.

I do it for ALL Linux boxes i run. Why would i want to chug a machine through swap? That's the windows way of doing things. I'll just throw in memory..especially with how cheap it is these days.
The windows way of doing things is to REQUIRE more ram and faster processors every upgrade.
