The CheapBytes disks gave me the option of ext2, ext3 or Reisfer fs.

I tossed my winxp partition, though, and it seems that a DOS partition is what's necessary to do hibernation. 'acpi' is a more bleeding-edge 'apm.' Either way, it's power management. Apm may have some issues with interrupts, but it's been fairly tame at this end. > Could someone explain me what apm/acpi does? > >
