How much swap?

I am wondering how much swap space I need in modern Linux such as FC6.
I'm planning to set up a system Pentium Dual Core with 8G RAM, and I
don't expect I need much
more than that for my apps.
Would I need a swap anyway. There is some old rule of thumb to have
twice as much virtual
memory as you have physical RAM, but that sounds a bit ridiculous as it
would take a lot
of time to swap in/out this much memory from disk.
In some other Unixes the swap space was needed
to preserve dump information in case of a panic, are there any such
considerations
in Linux?
