Hi David,

thought nobody's going to look at this, it's almost a year :).  Last
week I switched to Edgy (Ubuntu).  While I was still with Debian, I
stopped using suspend to RAM (months ago) and used suspend to disk
instead.  The in-kernel implementation is quite stable on my notebook
but sucks in all other aspects (e.g. it is _annoyingly_ slow).  Being
extra careful when hibernating (old habit from the days when things
tended to freeze), my last uptime was 72 days.  As a side note I'd
suggest (or, rather _beg_) offering suspend2-enabled kernels (see
suspend2.net), which works amazingly fast and has a couple of other nice
characteristics (better concept, nice community, nice developer
(especially in contrast to the in-kernel suspend), etc.).  In short:
in-kernel suspend works but sucks, suspend2 works and is nice.  Easy
choice, I'd think :).  Should I file a wishlist-bug?

Good luck with the release, Thomas.
