Ahh, hibernation. Something that is fairly commodity, and yet Linux can't get it right. QED. Incidentally one of the reasons I don't use Linux as my desktop anymore. Pervasive snapshotting is a problem because most apps don't know how to recover from snapshot. So you're reduced to imaging the entire RAM to disk. That's slow, given that hard drives are slow. Hard disk has only gained a 2X speed increase in the last decade, while RAM has increased what, 10X? imaging a 2GB RAM image to disk takes about 20-30 seconds. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
