Question: Is Feather Linux capable of putting the computer into sleep mode
or hibernate? That is a dealbreaker, for me at least, because I'm the type
that likes to leave the computer running unattended for hours on end, and I
would prefer not to waste too much electricity doing that.
I became disillusioned with Puppy for that reason; it does not appear to
allow suspend or hibernation. bummer. |

Whether or not any version of linux can do that depends on both the
kernel acpi modules being able to work with that computer, and the
scripts handling the sleep/resume operations.
I'm not familiar with Feather linux, but expect that the best results
will happen with the latest kernel available, and the latest bios
update for that computer.
What make/model of computer, and which bios make/version are you
using?

I'm running a Dell desktop I got several years back. It's a Dell Dimenstion
E510, with a Pentium 4. The BIOS is Phoenix, version A02.
My computer is capable of hibernating with XP. I just want to make sure
that it will be able to do so with linux. |
