Re: [gentoo-user] tuxonice and suspend-to-ram

Hi Stephan,


Frankly, I don't think it would bring anything to you, except maybe
the possibility to cancel a suspension on the fly and maybe some check
when coming from suspension.

I'm using tuxonice only for the suspend to disk, but even there, the
kernel has some builtin features that would be sufficient for me (I'm
lazy, I don't want to try ;-)).

tuxonice is mainly some wrapping scripts that makes the suspension
more feature full than the bare kernel provided but in the end, they
still use what the kernel provides.

In your case, I don't think it's mandatory to use tuxonice.


HTH,

Greg
