All I've ever had swsusp do, is crash and panic. And even if it didn't crash, I seriously doubt it works seamlessly with X (and the proprietary NVidia drivers). Not that I have been able to try it recently, because upgrade the kernel is practically impossible. And how about encrypted swaps? Probably needs some serious hacking not nicely and _safely_ integrated into distros to get it working. [[Running over a year old 2.6.14. Newer versions AFAIK no longer have decent SATA drivers with the devices as predictable /dev/hde etc., instead demanding random SCSI mapping insanity and hence udev. An udev itself is crypto-slugware, the kid of crap that I will not have on my system. Plus compiling the kernel is a week long task: one day trying make oldconfig to notice that it doesn't work, a few days for the initial configuration, a few more days fixing it, and then a few days trying to restore the system to be able to run the old kernel. Linux sucks. And the stock kernels in the distributions boot years loading every single module in a random order, so that you dont't get the integrated buzzchip as the first sound card, the wrong ethernet interface as eth0 and so on. And the tools to customise the initrd demand -- you guessed it -- the plague of udev. Linux sucks. Today the network went down and apparently the kernel can't handle my static and dynamic IP not being in the same subnets now, not finding the routes. Newer kernels might not have the bug, but I can't upgrade for the above-mentioned reasons. Linux sucks. I wish FreeBSD got ice1712 driver so I could perhaps switch to Debian/kFreeBSD. Linux sucks.]] -- Tuomo
