Chaos 6, Me 0

And so, the R40 project comes to a crashing end.

Well, not entirely crashing, but I damn well felt like it...

I did my homework, and found no really good answer to the great "Suspend" problem.  So...

I ended up selecting three alternatives to Mint:  Lubuntu 12.04, Xubuntu 12.04, and Puppy Linux 5.3 "Wary Puppy."  After looking those over, I went with Xubuntu, as 12.04 is a long term service release. So, I burned a copy of it, and then...

Do I need to go further...

Yeah, the very same problem.  Suspend and go into a permanent coma.

This was very, very good for my soul...

So, after I ran through the world vulgarity lexicon, I decided to call it quits.  I didn't feel like doing any more disk burning.  I tucked the newly "offensive" OS disks out of the way, and did the same with the R40.  (It'll probably migrate to the back room tomorrow...)

Yeah, boy...  Fun, fun, fun...

(And, yeah, one of these days I'll get round to playing with the other distros I downloaded.  One of these days...)
