Linux on laptopsLinux on laptopsPosted Mar 21, 2004 23:07 UTC (Sun) by jalexstark (subscriber, #5742)In reply to: Linux on laptops by thomask Parent article: Driving to Laptopia (Linux Journal) My experience with XP Home on a laptop has been that it "resumes" nice and quickly... but so much is still on the disk that it is not truly awake. In comparison, Mandrake 8.2 (yes, still), which had fairly good suspension on my IBM T20 (apart from video challenges eg DVD). There is no contest between these two. Although the resume with IBM+Linux is longer, it is then usable. On the HP+XP you have to sit there pressing buttons to get it back to life: more frustrating and time-wasting. That's not to say that keeping suspend/resume times down isn't desirable, of course.
