The advantage of using software-suspend is that it only saves to disk what's necessary, so it can be faster. Unfortunately the Linux swsusp patch is not quite (not at all for most people) reliable.. :-(
It still has problems with: - Running X (especially with the nvidia (non-free) drivers) - Having a journaling filesystem (it corrupted ext3 more than once, AFAIK it has less problems with ext2) - Having NFS-mounted drives Also, it doesn't restore some devices correctly, like NICs, sound cards and mouses. And possibly more problems.. :-( -- *=-+-______________________ |lintux-@t-lintux-d0t-cx: _ Ugh!
