I'm working under the assumption that you're going to post it on it's own
drive and you're only interested in learning linux.  i've read that you
should make a swap partition that is either equivalent or 2 times the
size of your physical memory.  i'm not an expert on this topic and i'm
just relaying what i've read.  i've got it installed on my hard disk and
i've got the swap file set to 2 times physical memory...it works great.

hope this helps.

regards,

adrian
