[Tfug] Lies, damned lies, and swap space

[Matt Jacob]

It's time for my laptop to have a clean slate, so I'm wiping the disk
and reinstalling everything from scratch. My question is this: How
much space (if any) should I allocate to swap?

I've got 2 gigs of RAM in this thing, so I don't anticipate I'll be
swapping very frequently. On the other hand, could it possibly hurt to
allocate at least 1G to swap?
