I have just found out a couple of days ago that the hibernate function of this laptop (ECS Desknote A530) is fully supported by Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog (Ubuntu 5.04). I now can just tell it to hibernate instead of shut down to avoid having to heal with a 3 minute boot sequence -- which is realy unacceptable, but nonetheless worth it in Ubuntu -- all the time. Thanks to the wonderful developers of this distribution, I can say that "my laptop works!" to some extent. I just have to get the wifi and "resume" functionality working so that there would be truth to the statement. I don't plan on making my internal modem working (again) since I already have broadband internet service at home.
CHill... :D
