I got a new Hard Drive for my laptop for christmas. I have about 70GB partition for Windows, 50GB for Ubuntu, and 500MB swap space. When i close my laptop lid, or use another means to put it in standby, it won’t resume from standby. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I do want standby. I use it alot because i use a laptop and i dont want to have to reboot 20-30 times a day.
That fix didnt work, Gy

My computer is pretty old. It has a 37GB Hard Drive, 512Mb RAM, and an AMD Athlon XP2500 519MHz CPU. I am running windows XP right now and have used up about half of the Hard Drive. I have burned several Linux Live CD distros and they were all pretty slow. I tried DSL and Puppy Linux but I didn’t like them. I want to try and partition my hard drive and do a dual boot. What linux distro would run well on my laptop? Ubuntu? Fedora? Mandriva? Or any other distro?
