In general, i think the normal reccommendation is to put around double your
physical RAM size as a swapfile. In practice, I use 256Mb swap on most
(almost all) my machines, which have physical RAM from 28Mb up to 320Mb.
Only the 28Mb machine ever makes substantial use of that space.

Standard laptop drive size except 8.45mm thick as opposed to 9.5mm thick.
(Kind of bites too. If it would take a 9.5mm drive I could put in 30 gigs
instead of 8.1gigs.)
