[ltp] Mandrake 8.2 vs. TP 600e

[Steven Crane]

...Do you want to know how the hibernation file is organized or do you don't know what 
hibernation is good for?...

At this stage I really don't know ANYTHING about "Hibernation". I imagine that it has 
something to do with power saving and, more importantly, battery exhaustion.

Power management is not something I've really tackled under Mandrake 8.2 as yet. 
KDE seems to virtually ignore it. The power management that I have managed to locate 
seems only concerned with the monitor and, to me, looks primarily geared towards an 
external monitor. I did notice a battery icon on the task bar in Gnome, so there must be 
some coverage within the software.

IBM's official Redhat 6.0 documentation says that Power Management is NOT handled 
by the installation and requires a re-compiled Kernel. I don't know if that still holds true 
under Mandrake. My experience so far suggests this distribution is no more competent 
than the old Redhat one when it comes to handling things automatically.
