I can't endorse this. I have 4 GB physical RAM on this box, and I have this |

line in /etc/fstab: |

|

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=6g 0 0 |

It works well. Whenever the kernel needs more than the currently available |
| 12 |
physical RAM it uses the swap partitions to make the extra space (4 x 2 GB |
| 13 |
on different drives, though that's far more than I need). That doesn't |
| 14 |
happen often - mostly only when OpenOffice is being compiled. Oh, and I run |
| 15 |
BOINC programs all the time too, and those are somewhat profligate with |
| 16 |
memory. |
