And I used to do it all the time. There's no reason to shutdown and reboot a system unless there's a kernel update, so being able to suspend or hibernate a system and then restore at a later date is a convenience. I only don't do it now because hibernate doesn't work for me with F17. -- Darryl L. Pierce, Sr. Software Engineer @ Red Hat, Inc. Delivering value year after year.
