7 swsusp2 is actually the best solution by some margin, about the only
8 time you should use suspend to ram is for very quick / temporary
9 suspends, as it still uses a significant amount of battery and will
10 effect your long term battery life. Suspend to ram also doesn't work
11 more often then not, and even when it does it is very unstable in many
12 instances.

14 I wrote a HOWTO on setting up suspend2 with lvm +dm-crypt, which while
15 way more complicated then you would need for a normal setup contains
16 some links that might be of use and gives a reasonable overview of the
17 process. You can find it here:
