The Good Thing (tm) about Gentoo is it's Wiki. I've never used
Fedora's (mainly because I"ve never needed to), but Gentoo's is even
better than Ubuntu's as far as content and useful information.
Yes, it does come up often when I google for things. I've never used
it directly to solve a Gentoo problem but it's been helpful to me
already. Thanks for providing a useful comparison.
As for suspend on Gentoo, if it's hard on FC, it's probably
going to
be about the same with Gentoo. The docs for setting it up are
better, I think, but it's still a laborious process.
I don't mind laborious so much, especially if what things I might need
to tweak are documented. Fedora's suspend is meant to "just work" and
for a growing number of systems that's probably true. Mine doesn't
and I've yet to find a good reference on how to proceed when it
doesn't (not counting tons of "try this kernel param and that one"
guessing). At least now I know that the hardware works just fine with
linux I will try harder to find a solution that works in Fedora.
I finally got it working on my laptop, but have abandoned using it
since suspend on 64-bit is still shaky when running a GUI.
A friend with Gentoo was trying to add some of the minor suspend
scripts he had from his Dell on mine in Fedora but they didn't work
out. But from that I have a start on how I'll try to get it working
when I get around to trying Gentoo on here.
Thanks,
