If it is would appreciate pointers to the docs. I think the suspend function on most laptops is dependent on the hardware. For me, a large assortment of kernels, all compiled with APM support, worked with a Thinkpad 380D and a Thinkpad 600X. The command is apm -s, but most laptops automagically invoke suspend-to-RAM when the lid is closed. Thinkpads have a number of options as to what they do when an APM suspend event occurs; tpctl can control them. Finally, if you give more information about your hardware, someone will probably be able to help you out more. I'm using a desktop computer using a motherboard from Microstar model number MS-6178 which has suspend-to-ram support. Does anyone have any experience with this board with suspend-to-ram ? Thanks.

These things might or might not be important to you personally, but even if they're not, they may be important to others. (Likewise, of course, there are advantages to CRTs over LCDs, like wider viewing angles and an ability to work at more resolutions without weird distortions.) I am somewhat unimpressed with the current crop of LCD flatpanels, due almost entirely by the way they are driven from a standard analog video card. Picture quality is not nearly as good as what you will get from a laptop which has a direct digital connection. The one exception is the SGI flatpanel display which *does* have a digital connection between the PC and panel. The downside is that you are limited to the Number 9 video card which is a bit dated compared to the current crop of video cards. *However*, SGI is selling re-furbed flat panel displays with the Number 9 video card for about $1100, which really is a
