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

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Greets,

I use suspend-to-ram all the time on my desktop-machine as well.
Energy-saving and quicker for me ... it works fine.

I use the tuxonice-sources for this, back then it was more reliable with
my hardware. Usually the ebuild for tuxonice-sources is some weeks later
than gentoo-sources. As I am always curious for the latest stable kernel
I often run gentoo-sources inbetween (and think to myself "I can get by
without S2R for a while").

Now I have noticed that "hibernate-ram" works with plain gentoo-sources
as well. And it does so without a problem. Fine!

Is there any real advantage in using tuxonice here? Pls note that I only
use S2R, and never suspend to disk .... all the disk-related features of
tuxonice aren't important to me.

Thanks for your opinions, Stefan
