I've seen many references to 'pmud' for PowerBooks, but I haven't been able to find any information on putting a desktop system to sleep. Can it be done under Debian/Linux?
Well, whatever you do, don't install and run pmud on a desktop machine. It will lock your machine up. Rebooting won't help - once you run pmud it automatically enters that hung state with every successive boot. I learned this lesson the hard way several months ago.
And like you, I'm still waiting to see if any sleep application has been written for a desktop machine.
