What are the advantages of the swsusp over a laptop's own
hibernate function(provided the laptop's own hibernate function works with
Linux)? All I have to do is hit Fn-F12 - or just hit the power switch - on
my computer and it hibernates (suspend-to-disk).  What do I get by trying
to get swsusp working?
