"Software suspend is a kernel patch that provides the ability to suspend execution of the kernel without using any APM BIOS feature. This is really useful if you frequently swap from windows to linux because this feature allows you to save your linux session on disk instead of rebooting."

I would *love* to see this feature in Knoppix and KnoppixKDE since it would drastically shorten boot time and give you nearly "instant on" - on any computer.
