4GB may not be enough

I just blew up my Debian system because my / was not big enough. I would put 1/5 to 1/4 of the system in / and the rest in /home.

A small swap partion just because it is faster then using a swap file and giving 1 or 2 gig for that isn't going to cost you anything.

If it is runaway, you're going to run out anyways - (ben_tilly) - (2) - Nov. 8, 2005, 05:12:09 PM EST
