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, Bill-- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
