Hi David, thought nobody's going to look at this, it's almost a year :). Last week I switched to Edgy (Ubuntu). While I was still with Debian, I stopped using suspend to RAM (months ago) and used suspend to disk instead. The in-kernel implementation is quite stable on my notebook but sucks in all other aspects (e.g. it is _annoyingly_ slow). Being extra careful when hibernating (old habit from the days when things tended to freeze), my last uptime was 72 days. As a side note I'd suggest (or, rather _beg_) offering suspend2-enabled kernels (see suspend2.net), which works amazingly fast and has a couple of other nice characteristics (better concept, nice community, nice developer (especially in contrast to the in-kernel suspend), etc.). In short: in-kernel suspend works but sucks, suspend2 works and is nice. Easy choice, I'd think :). Should I file a wishlist-bug? Good luck with the release, Thomas. -- Thomas Maier - Research Assistant - University of Kassel, Germany -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
