Folks, there *is* suspend to RAM in the "leave" menu in Jaunty, it's
just called "Sleep" and not "Suspend".
This is logical, as there are two different suspend modes: suspend to
RAM and suspend to disk.

If the option doesn't show, it is likely you are missing some package.
Did you try searching the repos with the keyword "suspend"?

FWIW, on my Lenovo laptop, I have the package acpi-support installed.
the HAL manages the rest, and both suspend ways work like a charm.
