OK, Linus said if I use swap it should be at least twice as much as RAM. there will be much more discussion about it, for me this contraint is a very very bad idea.
Have you ever thought about diskless workstations? Swapping over a network sounds ugly.
Nevertheless, my question is: what happens if I plan to use no swap. I have enough memory installed for my purposes and every swapping operation can do only one thing: slowing down the system. Is there a different behaviour if I completely disable swap?
