I hope this isn't considered thread hijacking, but can anyone offer a
DE-agnostic method of disabling/managing suspend? I have been experimenting
with a wyse client, and while its much easier to boot from USB or LAN than
hack the locked onboard storage, it doesn't handle suspend well.  Ill start
a new thread if needed, but it seems in scope.
