I am installing Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on a linux server running RH 5.x with 18gb of 
memory.  According to the Oracle install guide it recommends a swap space equal 
to total memory or 18gb.  Does it really require swap space of 18gb?  If I 
allocate less space for swap (say 8gb), will that have any adverse effects?

Thanks in advance,
