a 5GB swap space. It's rarely ever used, but I don't want to get bit in the ass when I actually do need it and can't have it because resizing partitions isn't an option.
I've had 1MB of the 5GB swap space used at the most (so far), so I guess I could tone it down and add 4GB to / . Either way, when you have a large enough hard drive, 5GB doesn't really matter anymore.
If you've got an 80GB hard drive (Like I had before I bought my 500GB), it's a pinch. I had 2GB swap on that.
