Remember, this is SSD, it is reasonable to have no swap. However, what if I wanted OpenOffice? This beast is memory hog AFAIK. Thanks for opinions. without gnome openoffice starts without problems on 256MB RAM without storage. no - don't use swap on SSD. simply remove unneeded bloat (gnome/kde etc) and 512MB will be more than plenty
