5 1. because if you have 200GB disk, cutting 1 or 2GB for swap does not matter
6
7 2. because someone told me some apps want to allocate swap no matter how ram
8 you have (I think it was someone from hp-ux support, but I'm not sure
9 if this is true for linux)
10
11 3. because it is always better to have too much ram/swap then too little
12
13 4. because if you do not set up swap, but need it later, it will not be so
14 easy to create it, if you partition all disk and leave no space left
15
16 5. because it is a good *nix habit! :-)
