Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to suspend my desktop PC under Linux.

All the power management documentation that I've read so far deals with laptops, but I want the same funcionality for my desktop (just as I do under Windows).

Regards.

It's the same for a laptop or desktop. Here's a nice howto.

Enjoy

OK,

I'm not interested in using hibernation, only need to suspend my computer (S3) with the sleep button.
I have compiled my kernel with ACPI support and emerged acpid.
acpid runs when the system boots.
What else do I need to suspend my system when I press the sleep button and to resume when I strike any key or move the mouse?
Do I need to load any ACPI module?

BTW, how stable is this implementation? Is it as safe to use as in Windows?

Thanks.

Sleep is still pretty experimental with ACPI. My old laptop with APM worked fine though. Here's the doumentation on suspend/sleep http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml
