The amount of power needed for the ram is at least one order of magnitude smaller than the usual power consumption (especially on more power-hungry desktop hardware), but you can still resume from disk in case power fails. And resuming from suspend-to-ram is also much faster ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
