I completely agree. My Mac PowerBook has had suspend-to-RAM for a long time; I shut the lid and about 3 seconds later it's asleep, open it and 3 seconds later it's awake. Leave it sleeping for a week on a full charge, come back to find it still asleep. I can even put it to sleep, remove a drained battery and put in a fresh one (it has a small internal 2-minute RAM battery), then wake it up and resume work. I'm curious though, what proportion of laptop hardware actually has support for suspend-to-RAM? (including hardware for which linux does not yet have support). What percent of that hardware _does_ have Linux support?
Cheers, Kyle Moffett
