The extra partition is just for APM. Use ACPI and swsusp. It uses your swap part. Be advised that hiberanation in Linux is extremely problematic. I don't bother with it. 2. Reliability 3. Battery life You can either have: 1. Thick -n- Heavy -n- Really Cheap -n- Low Powered -> 8LB underpowered celeron for under $1000 -> No battery life 2. Thin -n- Light -n- Pretty Cheap -n- Low Powered -> Something like a ~1ghz very light 12" screen for about $1500 -> Great battery life 3. Thick -n- Heavy -n- Moderately Price -n- Desktop Equivalent -> Desktop P4 with 15" screen -> No battery life 4. Thin -n- Light -n- Insanely Expensive -n- Still Low Powered -> $3000 beautiful thing that is still low as hell for some stuff -> Good battery life I chose #2 this time. I got a $1600 Desktop P4 3.0 Ghz with 256MB of ram and a 80GB 5400 RPM HD and an XP Pro license. For about an additional $1000 dollars I added: 1GB extra ram, 60 GB 7200 RPM HD, external USB adapter for the bigger slower HD, and a 3-year "even if it's your fault we'll fix it 3-day turn-around golden carpet" warranty. The tradeoff is no battery life. Do something else on the plane. Get a nice handheld or fly first class and get an airline adapter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
