Actually if only testing a various distributions to see how they handle the suspend/ resume is what you need, then you have a number of options available that do not include wiping out your current root partition. For example you may consider installing Lin on a memory stick or other removable media, like external HDD. A week ago I noticed 8GB memory sticks were selling for less than $20 if memory serves well. You can partition those in Lin and even install several distros on just one of them Let me know if you have any luck with any other distro, which I seriously doubt by the way - I'm pretty sure this is not a distro issue
