Question #76271 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76271
Tom proposed the following answer: Lol, yes that is a good point. Hibernate leaves the machine in a much more vulnerable state and while it's quite fast to initially boot up it takes ages to go into hibernate mode in the first place. In tests i've done it actually takes more power to go into hibernate and start up than a complete shutdown and fresh bootup - but i measured it by drain on the boats batteries and i guess most testers don't see the bigger picture view i get when i'm on the boat as they probably use mains electrickery ;) Still any portable device needs to be able to use hibernate just in case. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
