I tried Red Hat 8.0 on my Dell Latitude a few months back. My
``do-or-die'' test was to see if it suspended and woke up correctly. It
didn't, and Red Hat went bye-bye.
I am currently running Debian on my laptop, and wake up and suspend work
just fine. I have a custom kernel with all the APM and ACPI options
enabled, and I have the latest version of XFree86, with the latest Gatos
video drivers (for my Rage Mobility 128 chip). Hope this gives you some
ideas. :-)
