I am not sure what you are saying. fdisk will tell you if you have a
swap partition as will the contents of /etc/fstab. free will tell you if
it is working. If not swapon will get it to work, top will tell you how
bogged sown the machine is as will uptime. top will also tell you what
processes are running and how much of the resources you are using. The
that 256mb is a little on the low side for RAM.
