Hi, I have a fairly old laptop (500MHz G4) and I tend to compile a lot of applications from source. Most of time it doesn't take too long but when I compile large libraries or applications this sometimes takes 4-5 hours.
An example is webkitgtk+ 1.1.3. I needed this to compile the latest version of midori. After a couple of hours of compilation, I paused the job using Ctrl-Z and suspended my laptop to RAM. The next morning, I resumed the laptop and typed 'fg' to resume the compile. To my surprise, it worked fine and I was able to compile and install webkitgtk+ successfully. Now, I am thinking of applying this to kernel compilation, etc. Is this common practice? Do others do this as well? A google search did not really turn out proper topics.
