Actually, I would take this number and double it.  I wouldn't think
about configuring our smallest machines with less than 8M of swap.
Take your physical memory, at half that again, and then double the
whole thing.  That means that an 8M system would have 24M of swap.
You won't go wrong when you bump up your core (which, with only 8M,
hopefully will be done shortly :-)

Remember, a machine with less than 16 is too damn lean!
