Linux Time Machine Alternative Reviewed

| Going Back With Flyback. A needed GUI alternative to rsnapshot, Flyback
| provides much of the same functionality, but does so with a nice GUI wrapper
| to make the entire process more user-friendly. The UI appears to be GTK-based
| and overall, it's impressive. Just about everything you want from rsnapshot
| is here for the common man to make the most of it with.

Sleepy Linux

| Current Linux versions can enter suspend-to-RAM just fine, but only can do it
| on explicit request. But suspend-to-RAM is important, eating something like
| 10% of [the] power needed [compared to an] idle system.

Testing Suspend and Hibernation
,----[ Quote ]
| "The following patches add a new testing facility for suspend and
| hibernation," noted Rafael J. Wysocki. He continued, "the first patch adds
| the possibility to test the suspend (STD) core code without actually
| suspending, which is useful for tracking problems with drivers etc. The
| second one modifies the hibernation core so that it can use the same facility
| (it's a bit more powerful than the existing hibernation test modes, since
| they really can't test the ACPI global methods)."
