I was upgrading lately pretty recently, and it always happened to after kernel upgrade hibernate not works. After reboot it works, and after upgrade not work again and so on :) But usually, it was sorted out, and hibernate works as expected.

This boot time never was an issue for me after the sleep and hibernate do their jobs.

What I missed that Ubuntu (and Linux in general) work slower, much slower after running some neat application like Skype, Pidgin and some applet and using the 3D desktop effects.

When I switch user, the system start working much faster...

Probably, a "system cleaner" could be helpful to faster bootup in the future, when the users put all the services and application to their system.

(sorry, it's not a direct reply to your post, but more like my thoughts after it)

Yahoo Pulls the Plug On GeoCities 427

Posted by timothy from the myspace's-aesthetic-progenitor dept.
Mike writes "It's official: Yahoo is pulling the plug, and GeoCities is dead. GeoCities had suffered a long and drawn-out battle with its health over the past decade. An antiquated service model and outdated technology are widely blamed for the struggle. An official cause of death, however, has yet to be determined. Awful, eye-punishing graphics, lack of relevancy, and 'lowest-common-denominator design' are believed to have contributed to its demise. GeoCities was 15 years old." There is doubtless a lot of funny and informative stuff on there that's worth saving (not just Jesux, which pudge has now migrated). If some of it belongs to you, perhaps you should move it sometime in the next few months. Update: 04/24 18:10 GMT by T : And if you know some GeoCities page owners who aren't especially computer savvy, you could point out to them how easy it is to slurp down their pages for re-hosting elsewhere.
