Happy Valentine's everyone!

I've a quick query about swap sizes.
I'm running a file server, 128mb RAM. What size of swap partition would be
appropriate?

Red Hat "Reccomends" about 2x you RAM is best. Is there any reason shouldn't
have a 2gb swap?

Some older kernels counldn't use more than 1gb of swap. what's the limit
now?

thanks heaps,
