What is the proper place for sysctl settings?

I use ssd disk and want to modify swappiness variable. What is the proper place to do it? Am I right, I should put it into /etc/sysctl.conf?

Hi
Yes, that’s the file, eg;


vm.swappiness = 10

I have 4GB of RAM on this system (OCZ-AGILITY3 60GB) and don’t
hibernate, so have swap set to 1.9GB (last partition and to take up the
alignment slack).
