I've read that your swap should be.....

		A) Twice your RAM
		B) 150% of your RAM
		C) Equal to your RAM.

Everybody seems to have their own opinion. I don't have my own at all.
But I've read all of the above.

Since I've got more HD space than I know what to do with, I let the
installer decide.   I have 2GB of RAM. When I installed Dapper it took 4
GB for swap.  When I later installed Edgy, it only wanted 3GB.
