Before you do this, I want to make sure you understand the implications
of a gigabyte of swap space. Unlike SunOS which needs one byte of swap
space for each byte of real memory, Linux ONLY uses swap space when
there is no more real memory to hold the working sets of every task.
Having a gigabyte of swap space means that you will IMHO either have
most of it wasted or thrash yourself to death (i.e. spend all of your
cpu and I/O paging).
