I'm just curious about something.  After all the tweaking you've done, I see
you've decided to go with a swap space less than 50% of your on-board RAM.  Of
all the partition sizes, this one seems (to me) to be the most critical if, for
some reason, the partition fills up.

What led you to the decision to use 30MB of swap space on a 64MB machine?
 There's different schools of thought on this, and just wanted to know what
school you're coming from.
