Has anybody out there ever been able to successfully suspend a Linux
session on a laptop?  If so, how difficult is it?  Is there a utility
that does it?

When I right-click my battery monitor in Gnome, I'm given the option to
suspend my computer.  However, when I take that option, I get a message
that states, "Suspend wasn't setup correctly in the preferences.  Please
change the preferences and try again."  Well, I can't seem to find
anything related to suspending my computer in my preferences or in my
system settings.

I have been able to hit the sleep button on this thing, and get some
results, but I get a few undesirable results.  For example, my ethernet
card stays on when I suspend, but stops working when I wake the computer
back up.

Also, Is it possible to suspend to disk?  Theoretically, I believe its
possible to suspend both a windows session and a Linux session to disk
in parallel, enabling me to jump between each session quickly.

I'm running RH 8 on a Dell Inspiron 4000.

Thanks,

Matthew Larson
