Hi, all.

I've just upgraded the RAM on an old machine running i686 Precise from
1280 -> 2048 & the swap disk is still as it was before the upgrade.

Now, if the box had, say, 4GB's of RAM or greater, it wouldn't be too
much of a deal but when dealing with such meagre quantities, I'm
thinking it's probably better to adjust the swap size.

I've Googled the subject but that's just led me to endless debates on
the subject so I'm wondering what is the One True Way to do this on Ubuntu?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

  Phil...
