[ltp] suspend/hibernation FC4 & X31

[Jonas Arnsmann]

Hi there...

I can really recommend the Software Suspend2 packages maintained by 
Matthias Hensler..
http://mhensler.de/swsusp/index_en.php

But i would wait a couple of days for the new FC5 ;)
Release Date is 20.March 2006 and it will support Software Suspend 
"out-of-the-box"
