Yep.. I'm not sure what the limit is, but it is > 128Mb now. RH 6.0 is ready
for this, other dists will need the current util-linux (avoiding the trojan'd
one) to get the new mkswap.
For example I use 200 Mb swap on each of my machines now, one with 64Mb ram,
and another with 128Mb. With 128Mb, Netscape, exmh, and blackbox, I have:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 128352 125128 3224 45492 2620 68752
-/+ buffers/cache: 53756 74596
Swap: 208804 1648 207156
And my 64Mb machine doesn't hit swap much more :)
