I recently installed Debian 3.0r2 on a Compaq Armada M700. I would like to be able to put the machine to sleep without having to shut it down all the time, but the sleep button (which did work when I had Fedora installed) just beeps at me.
I am computer literate, but not a professional, am relatively new to linux, and even newer to debian. Could someone provide a straight-forward set of steps to get my laptop to go to sleep?
