Laptop suspend mode

Okay, I feel like a bit of a tool for never realizing how cool suspend-to-ram is in a laptop. My new laptop for work is a Dell D630, which I'd got 'cos its hardware is pretty much completely compatable w/Linux. However, I've also figured out that a) Ubuntu does suspend-to-ram quite nicely (aside from a couple times when the keyboard doesn't work, but closing/reopening the lid makes it work), and b) it just sips — sips, I tell you! — from the battery.

Now to try and make it work on my own laptop, which is currently sitting at the shop waiting for me to pick it up.

Today's agenda:

• Install new 48-port switch in server room
• Update Fedora Directory Server wiki page on building RPMs for/on CentOS
• Set up mail server to accept mail for older, semi-deprecated domain
• Drink coffee, catch up on sleep

See? I am still a sysadmin.
