	Personally if I have hard drive space to waste I let my swap be 
about 3-4 times larger then my total ram. This way I can add more fairly 
easily. If I'm short on space I still try to have at least twice as much. 
I'd be interested in discussions on this though. Perhaps what I'm doing 
is way out of line? :)
