Change suggested swap amount

Talk status

This discussion is still ongoing.

A problem that arised on my x86 box: the suggested swap size (512MB) is too low. Because generally x86 boxes have less than 4GB RAM, it would be advisable to use at least 2GB of swap space. This machine here, using 1GB ram and 512MB swap, is unable to compile firefox or libreoffice. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by SlaveJobs (talk • contribs) 18 September 2015
