Hi All,

I just got knoppix 3.3 today, I've not played with knoppix much before and I was wondering; I just went and wiped the HD ready for an all knoppix install. I made up the usual 3 partitions as per my fairly standard recipe, however I got a little bit of a question arising out of it all:

Normally it's reckoned that as a broad rule of thumb you'd want 2.5 times your memory as a swap size. however I see comments like 512Mb max. If I got 512Mb mem, then I would guess that indicates +1280M (or so) for swap instead of the more usual +512M.

I can spare it, so should I, or not? What are the arguments for and against this?
