All,
After installing without AIF, I want to update the install wiki to drop a note about swap. It isn't addressed at all. What is the current Arch recommendation regarding swap creation? I.E.: recommended for systems w/less that 1G of RAM, create swap file of what size? (256M?) Even if swap is not recommended, I at least want to drop that note in the basic install. Thanks.
As others on this thread have elaborated, it comes down to the individual's need. I don't think any distro can dictate about the need of a swap or not.
I almost don't use swap as my RAM can handle my needs. But, just in case, I set swap partition to 1,5x my RAM capacity.
