[clue-tech] Declining Linux support.

So I'm thinking that it's time for me to figure out hibernation for my 
laptop.  Well, there are some article out there and basically two tool 
sets (uswsusp and suspend2), but not much on either integrating that 
with desktop power management or the package set for Debian.

Not a big deal, I'm sure once I dive in it will be easy enough to make 
work, even if there isn't a Debian Way to do it.

But I thought that perhaps Ubuntu knows a good way to do this and would 
describe their process.  All the Ubuntu answers seem to be along the 
lines of "it works for me" or "tweak this file here" (where the file is 
an Ubuntu config file.

So it occurs to me that the better distros get at supporting things out 
of the box, the fewer people figure it out for themselves, and the 
harder it is to find out how things work under the covers (without 
having to disassemble them).

I've been keeping notes on things I have to figure out or hand configure 
(cause I hate having to figure them out again).  Maybe I need a blog to 
put that stuff on.
