I have 2megs of memory and 4megs of swap.

Does this give me a total of 6megs or only 4 ?

A unix expert, told me that the actual memory maps onto the swap, so only the
swap space above the system memory is available.
Is this true on linux ?

I'm considering upgrading to 4meg of RAM, but as I've only got a 40meg
partition, I wasn't intending to increase the swap space.

Thanks for any info on the above.
