[ale] more memory, bigger swap?

I have heard of some versions of Unix that reserved a certain amount
of virtual memory in relation to how much physical memory was
installed and if there wasn't enough swap space it wouldn't use all
of the physical memory. Linux doesn't do this (the Sparc box at work
has 32Mb of RAM and no swap since there is no hard drive in the
machine) but it does sound like a real good justification for having
sufficient swap space.
