I am planning to upgrade the computer RAM: will I have to reinstall Ubuntu? I am asking this question because of the swap partition: if I double the RAM do I have to double the swap partition too?
Your computer will boot without any problems (provided you installed the right kind of RAM, etc.).
Afterwards, take a minute to double the swap size as well. You may even wait until you experience memory problems. If you have a little more time, get rid of the swap partition altogether, and create a swap file.
No.
