What else can I help you with?
What is the minimum amount of swap Linux can use?
None. It is possible to operate Linux without a swap file or partition.
Which partitions does Linux use when all the information that Linux is processing cannot be stored in RAM?
That is the "swap partition." It is a dedicated space on the hard disk that fulfills the "swap" feature of virtual memory in Linux.
What does Linux use instead of a paging file?
Linux uses a swap partition, a piece of the hard disk itself set aside by the system for receiving page-swapping. However, if you have more than 2-3 GiB of RAM on your desktop, you probably want need to make use of virtual memory at all in Linux.
What hard disk drive partition does the Linux kernel use to store pages from ram?
Linux swap partition has the code 82 (hex). A swap partition must be formatted with mkswap before first use. You can use swapon and swapoff utilities to enable/disable swap
What type of partition does Linux use when it does not have enough memory?
A swap partiton because it is a dedicated partition and not a file
Which partition dose Linux use when all information being processed cannot be stored in RAM?
Swap partition
Instead of a page file such as windows what type of partition does Linux use when it does not have enough memory to hold all the data that it is processing?
It uses the swap. The swap is a dedicated partition and not a file.
What type of partition does Linux use when it does not have enough memory to hold all data proccessing?
You do not need to set up a dedicated partition for swap as you can also set up a swap file.
Could Windows have more users than Linux?
That depends on whether you are asking whether more people use Windows or Linux or which system supports more users. The maximum number of users in a modern Linux system is 4,294,967,295. Windows doesn't have any specific limit that has been published, but each account takes up a significant amount of space, limiting the number to well below the limit in Linux. As to how many people use them, more people use Windows on their personal computers than Linux.
What is the maximum amount of controllers that can be hooked to a GameCube?
Four is the maximum amount of controllers that you can use with a GameCube.
How much specifies the amount of swap space configured for Linux?
This is entirely up to whoever sets it up, but the rule of thumb is usually 1.5x the amount of physical system memory on the machine. For example: If you have 2 GiB of RAM, then it's considered good practice to create a swap partition of size 3 GiB. However, Linux's memory management is much more effective and efficient than Windows, and when you have 2 GiB or more of RAM it's considered optional to set up or use swap space, as your system has plenty of memory in which to work. If you have 4 GiB it may be considered wasteful to create any swap space at all unless your computing needs are very memory-intensive.
What is the least amount of money you will pay for a Linux?
virtually all linux distros are free, excluding internet use and man hours to get it going.
