Why is that a problem? I don't have a fedora-loaded laptop handy but ubuntu
seems to sleep and wake up OK.
I still have problems with sleep. It will periodically hang. There's
an Nvidia chipset on the machine which is most of the problem. Sleep
isn't as reliable as it should be. A co-worker moved to Apple because
he got fed up with the sleep problems that he was having.
Under F9 when I resume from suspend it seems to take forever for it
the graphical interface to come back. After X is back is seems to
take forever for the wireless connection to start. It makes me wonder
if I shouldn't shutdown the machine and reboot everytime.
The above doesn't include those that have dual boot setups either.
Boot times are important.
