Well... about the fact swsusp is even existing in Mandrake 9.2 I got my own 
not so very positive ideas. Of course I tested it, and as expected it didn't 
work well. Swsusp is far from mature on linux -and will never be in 2.4 
kernels-. Swsusp is a nice way to prevent a laptop from loosing it's data 
when the battery runs out, not a way to reboot a system day in day out.

Sorry, but I've had it with the guys who say "Mandrake works fine with me, so 
anyone stating otherwise should shut up", and unfortunately there are far too 
many of them on this list...
