Feature exist in other system?

Does this feature exist in other operating systems, such as Linux or BSD? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frap (talk • contribs)

Yes, in Linux there is a module called sys_suspend or soft_suspend, it writes an image of RAM memory to disk. However this was(as of kernel 2.4.X) in a seperate fork. Although both the maintainers of the fork and the Kernel(Linus) were working toward merging them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.150.158 (talk • contribs)

This should be researched and written up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frap (talk • contribs)

A crack?

and a crack is available for the latest Tiger operating system to enable this feature for much older Mac computers

I doubt cracks should be promoted on Wikipedia. maybe tell it another way e.g: "Altough there are undocumented ways ... or underground patches" if it's semi-legal to apply the "crack", or don't mention it at all.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.203.122.76 (talk • contribs)

In this case, I would say the crack is not illegal. I'd be better to speak of a patch though. If Tiger is shipped with such a function, it is not illegal to activate it. --Abdull 10:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I reworded the bit about the "crack". --William Lovas 00:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Security concerns

Someone should add that this is a security headache to have all of your ram written down anywhere. Ram can contain anything, passwords, banking details... This is worse than the pagefile.sys — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.134.150.223 (talk • contribs)

Hibernation Lock?

Is there a way to prevent my computer from hibernating? My classmates always press the power button to make my computer hibernate... 142.35.113.95 17:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

On Windows, goto Control Panel, then "Power Options" then click on the "Advanced" tab. -- Frap 18:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
