So, following a suggestion of yours some time ago, as I have 4 GB RAM in |
| 7 |
this box I compiled the kernel without swap code and ran without a swap |
| 8 |
partition. It seemed to work well, though I didn't run any proper tests. |

I've reverted to using swap more recently because I'm running the new |
| 10 |
vmware-server package, which seems to eat memory wholesale and I don't want |
| 11 |
to risk running out of space. I don't think swap space is actually being |
| 12 |
used though. So far. |
