Re: new memory = more swap?

[thedogfarted <thedogfarted@xxxxxxxx>]

I have 1700+ Athlon XP. Before i moved from RH9 to Fedora, i had 1G swap 
space as written in RH manual. I installed RH9 without any knowledge of 
Linux and small knowledge of UNIX, so i decided to follow the manual. As 
i have small hdd, those 3/4 G is quite a lot for me :)
