Hi all,
I'm having great difficulty in finding a laptop suitable for my
needs. I'm vision impaired and a student, so primarily will use the machine for

I'm going to increase my budget by $800, and get a Lenovo thinkpad
X200. Anyone got one of these, what do you think of it?
I found it on amazon for $1100, which I could probably get shipped out
here to Australia by a third party, for under au$1300, in total
costs. Howeve

Hi,
Can someone please advise me how to suspend from the command line?
Also when my laptop lid is closed, the system suspends. I'm just on the
command line, no gui is running. I see this in syslog, but am unsure
what program is responsible...?

Couldn't find this in squeeze, so used unstable's version.
S2disk works ok and s2ram doesn't. I think when I close the lid it uses
command pm-suspend (found this after some research.)
Thanks,
