     105
     106    <para>
     107      Suspend to RAM allows the system to enter sleep states in which main
     108      memory is powered and thus its contents are preserved. The method cuts
     109      power to most parts of the machine aside from the RAM.  Because of the
     110      large power savings, it is advisable for laptops to automatically enter
     111      this mode when the computer is running on batteries and the lid is closed
     112      (or the user is inactive for some time).
     113    </para>
     114     
     115    <para>
     116      Suspend to disk (Hibernation) saves the machine's state into swap space
     117      and completely powers off the machine. When the machine is powered on,
     118      the state is restored. Until then, there is zero power consumption.
     119      Suspend to RAM and hibernation are normally appropriate for portable
     120      devices such as laptops, but can be used on workstations.  The capability
     121      is not really appropriate for servers.
     122    </para>
     123
     124    <para>
     125      To use hibernation, the kernel parameter
     126      resume=/dev/&lt;swap_partition&gt; has to be used on the kernel command
     127      line (in grub.cfg).  The swap partition should be at least the size of
     128      the physical RAM on the system.
