It's notable that the article concentrates on suspend2, and hardly mentions swsusp and uswsusp. Are we to take it that suspend2 is actually the only usably usable method at the moment?

Works For Me (tm). suspend2 was the only offering that runs reliably and with little fuss for my laptop. Been running solid since kernel 2.6.9. My ThinkPad 600X loves it. ;)

I've been using swsusp for around 2 years now on my Compaq Presario 2200
laptop without any problems. Suspend2 is some pain when your root is on
LVM. swsusp is a breeze and safe. It also does Suspend-to-RAM.
It'd be interesting to see what Pavel introduces with ususpend.

You mean what Rafael is introducing, with help from Nigel. Pavel just seems anoying more than helpful.

No,

Maybe you've not followed the 2006 Linux Power Management Summit.
Pavel has brought up something new called uSwsusp which inherits many of
the features from Software Suspend 2.

This is the link http://sf.net/projects/uswsusp
I'm not sure why it is listed as inactive.
