> Adding some swap would help a lot more. So, I run a lot of systems without swap - basically my thinking at the time I set them up went like this. "I have 4 gig of memory, and 4 gig of swap. Surely running 8 gig of memory and no swap will be just as good ?" but, is that actually true ? Is real RAM as good as an equivalent amount of swap, or is there smething special about swap which means you shoud have some no matter how much RAM you have ? -pete.
