Likewise. I really don't see any point to swap space, given a decent amount of RAM. The logic people use for that stuff is all messed up.

Consider: 512MB RAM, so people will say "you need 512MB of swap". Bump that up to 1GB of RAM, and the same folks then up the ante to another 1GB of swap. So just put 2GB of RAM in the box and forget about it!!

The only real requirement for swap, is when using the default in-kernel suspend-to-disk feature, which writes RAM out to swap and then powers down.

But if one is using TuxOnIce instead, then it can use an ordinary file as the target, rather than needing a special swap partition. Or at least that was the case last time I looked.
