Re: Hibernation

Hi!

> Anyone know if Linux supports Hibernation?

Yes.

> Where can I get info on this?

You have two possibilities. Either you have notebook which supports it
(in that situation turn on CONFIG_APM in kernel and you are done), 

or you don't.

In such case, talk to Gabor Kuti <seasons@falcon.sch.bme.hu>, who has
patches to make linux suspend-to-swappartition on _any_ hardware. (And
yes, I played with that one, and my old 386 suspends just well). (Just
notice that this is EXPERIMENTAL.)

PS: Yes, I can suspend to disk on any intel computer. It has minor
glitches (you have to switch consoles, ifconfig down up, restart gpm,
...), but it basically works.
