Hello, all.
I know the function of the swap and can make swap partion or file.
But, if there is no swap partion at system, what would be happen?
that makes the system unstable or not?
I have one system that has no swap, but there was no problem until now.
A swap partition is not essential to system operation so long as you have enough RAM. Most modern systems have more then enough RAM and can probably live without a swap partition . -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller@deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
In fact, my eeepc has 2 gigs ram and no swap. runs just fine. the only other thing I lose due to having no swap is the ability to hibernate.
