So, imagine you are using a machine with 1 GB of RAM and 2 GB of swap, following the old rule. That adds up to 3 GB of virtual memory.
Now you buy your new machine, that has 4 GB of RAM. If you run it totally swapless (which is perfectly possible), and your use of it is more or less the same that the use you gave to your old machine, then why whould you even consider using swap?
It's totally pointless to use the "double your RAM" method. If you don't want to go swapless, just put something like 1 GB and it should be enough. You can always add more if you need later.

I don't see the Spanish National Team as a team with an advantage:P
I have nothing against them, and their nickname is The Fury, but any Spaniard will agree with me, I'm sure.
On the other hand, Brazil is a winning team... Maybe yellow is the correct color there?
As of blue... I'm from Argentina (light-blue and white)... are we doomed?:P

The liquid was examined by a somewhat strange machine, it's report says the liquid is "Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"
