Better watch it there. Wasn't it Gates who once said, "Who'd need more
that 640K of memory?" :)
If Linux is ever to be considered a player in the upper-midrange market
then eventually having a single 2+GB swap partition would be very useful.
As an example, all machines I admin at work have 4GB to 16GB swap partitions
(over a striped RAID5, of course). Not so much for swapping but for
savecores & crash analysis.
I'd like to see Linux eventually start competing with the big boys like
the DEC 8200/8500 and HP K, T, & V series machines.
