Stephen,
There are many reasonable, but sometimes conflicting, approaches to
this. From what you've described, I'd recommend not spending too much
time worrying about it. I'd accept YaST2's default settings, possibly
with one exception: If you're going to double your RAM in the near
future, you can override the default swap partition size and double it
now -- instead of resizing it later. Would you mind my asking what
you're using for backups?
regards,
- Carl
