I used to use software suspend and for a while there it worked quite well. Unfortunately since then I broke something and I haven't had time to figure out what. If you want to use swsusp, I strongly recommend pulling down the mandrake kernels since they ship with swsusp built into them. There's also a bunch of nifty scripts in a package called suspend-scripts. I don't know if that's mandrake specific or not, but look into them because they make life easier.
