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.
Personally, I would plug the card into a computer and shrink the Swap partition, its a waste of space. 256MB is good enough. Oh, and 7GB for the OS seems like a lot as well, why so much. Even if you put KDE, etc, into it, it will be smaller than 7GB. Also, Debian Chroot runs from the FAT partition...
