Can Linux do, too? Well, no, _you_ don't issue an S5 to ACPI in Windows XP, and you shouldn't do it in Linux either. You issue a shutdown command (whatever is correct under your OS) and the OS will issue the S5 when it's shut down everything that needs to be stopped. ------------------------------------------------------- Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo, June 4-6, 2003, Santa Clara The only event dedicated to issues related to Linux enterprise solutions www.enterpriselinuxforum.com
