I think I have way too much swap space since very little of it is ever in use, according to the conky app.

The system seems to work well. It is nice to have the additional space tor apps. I am up to over 2GB usage on that partition. Thanks for all your help in making the clone to SD possible.
The configuration sounds fine, 256MB should be plenty for swap, but 1gb wont hurt anything.
