omg you're becoming a proper geek :D geeks always say they navigate faster in the shell than in a file manager.
Why do you speak generally, as if the same doesn't apply to you? :p
seeing number of your posts, it's not surprising. :p
In my defence, 20 posts a day only takes me about 10 minutes, compared to a minimum of 20 minutes for most people :D (or is it 30 seconds that you have to wait between posts?)

No. The more RAM you have, the less swap you're gonna use. If you currently have 512MB then it's very unlikely that you'll need more than that after the upgrade.


If you keep part of your data on disk and part on floppies.. if you upgrade your disk, do you need more floppies? ;)

Fair enough :) I thought the general rule of allocating double your RAM to the swap applied throughout.
That one is pretty idiot proof but the answer is simply that you need as much memory as you plan to use. You could have 10gb of dead slow swap if you wanted. With 512MB RAM I would rarely dip into swap, so I never need 512MB of it. Now I have 1GB RAM and I almost never use swap.

I find this letters & numbers useful for not typing too long messages:
U You, R are, 4 for,D the & etc....
Oh my gosh, this is just revolutionary! Imagine the time you could save by substituting lengthy and difficult-to-type words like "you" and "are" with single characters! Why doesn't everyone talk like this? It'd save sooo much effort, and it's not like it'd be annoying to read or anything.

In case I have 1 gb ram and assigned big space for swap.Will it slow down performances? Maybe because they placed too much stuffs on swap instead of memory?

why is it that people who have nothing to say are usually the ones who are worried about "substituting lengthy and difficult-to-type words ike "you" and "are" with single characters!"
I can't see why "you" and "are" as difficult-to-type words.Except when sending sms.
Attention! Attention! This is 4 ol D fagots who does not like my shit!
If U don't[ups, do not] like my shit, than U can suck my d****.
U should know that English peoples R fond of shorting the phrases, sentances & words, I'm not English bt I'm talking this language.

I wish I knew that one before. I have 3gb of HD space allocated to swap and 1.5GB RAM. :confused:
