The one good thing about Vista is that it introduced me to use the Sleep function. This was on my aunt's computer. When I got back to my own little rig, which has Ubuntu Linux and XP on it, I tried it, and it works perfectly. Yay! I had been aware of this innovation before, but the state on Linux was a bit doubtful, I'd heard, and since this isn't a notebook, the need for sleep wasn't great. I'm glad to report that it worked perfectly. I realise that this little post leads nicely into my computer's setup. This will be the subject of my next post.
