Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The swap partition should be 4 GB in size.
Key Takeaway: The Linux operating system uses the hard disk space in the swap partition as the system RAM. When the system RAM is overloaded, the operating system moves data and programs that are loaded into the RAM. You should create a swap partition that is at least twice as large as your installed RAM.
