I remember Linus ranting about swap at one point, but it's been a while.

What is the current state of the need for swap on a linux kernel, 2.4.20 in
specific. Does it need *any*, given some reasonable amount of RAM? What
constitutes a reasonable of RAM?

My recent experience suggest none is needed.
