> I still go with 1.8 * Physical RAM. Or not. I regard that as the Rule Of > Thumb but I always ignore it... That's the rule of thumb I used. Since then I have doubled my RAM (mmm...256). I don't do much swapping until I get a vmware session or two going. I think the 1.8 * Physical RAM (2 * Physical RAM if your lazy) is a good rule of thumb. If you're going to put a heavy load on the server consider adding more swap, linux goes on a killing spree when it runs out of memory. -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
