[Server-devel] [XSCE] XSCE usage analysis: Malaysia Deployment

[Jon Nettleton]

swap.state is used by squid to rebuild the cache on reboot.  The
machine should be setup to have that rotated like a log once a day.
That will keep it under control.  I think the squid directive is squid
-k or something similar.  Sorry I am not at my computer, can give a
more complete answer later.

I know by default during the installation the fedora will part the whole harddisk into two parts, for root (/) 50G, and for /home the remaining.  However, in XSCE's setting, the main content is put into /library which belongs to / partition.
