Swap partitionn help

[npinn001]

Hi,

I just installed Ubuntu last night, but i have what is probably a stupid question but it is important that i get it right as i will stay with this setup for years to come.

I have 3GB or ram.

I worked on the assumption of 1GB = 1024MB for the installer.

I did a / partition of 20480MB being 20GB
I did a swap partition of 6144MB, being 6GB (2x my RAM)
I did a /home with the rest (about 200GB)

the weird quetionn i have is, when i entered the numbers into the partition screen, the number of MB given to swap was 6142MB - am i going to have any problems with this being 2MB under?

x2 the amount of onboard ram is only an approx. So being 2mb under will not cause any problems. Infact you might find that you could easily get away with 1.5x ram for swap.

What he said. As long as your swap > your memory you can use the hibernate function. 6 gigs is one helluwa swap partition.

You'll do just fine.
