After my recent upgrade, I run Kubuntu Gutsy on Core2Duo E8200 with 2GB of RAM. When I installed it a few months ago, I created a 4GB swap for good measure. However I want some more space for other partitions and am not ready for another hard disk, so I want to know if I can bring down the swap size to maybe 1GB or so.
With 2GB of physical memory inside, my swap isn't being used at all, as I can see from 'free'. So isnt it safe to limit my swap to 1GB?
One more thing.. is there a way to save the list of extra packages I have installed(after installing the OS), so that I can easily install them again after a clean install?
