It also has the advantage of working extremely reliably on 2.4 (and a large part of the code base is shared, so that's a significant data point). I couldn't get it to crash or do anything bad for months now, and I'm doing at least several suspend/resumes a day on my laptop. Also, thanks to the excellent compression feature, suspend/resume times are very short and in fact competitive with suspend-to-ram schemes. I think it's better not to mix personal preferences (such as the escape-to-abort thing) with technical discussions. On a practical level, swsusp2 is the only implementation which works reliably, does its job very well, and has a responsive maintainer willing to fix problems as they arise. --J. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAVjlyLth4/7/QhDoRAgfFAJ9YE2u/0Ajmc6oXx0UvATu/p8hr+QCfesjL jCFaYCcrSkj2mvz9zrncPXI= =0pEy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
