It's actually a cool advantage.  You have more chances to recover your 
system if it fails.  You can always try the older kernels.  However I 
have seen people fill their /boot partitions and it's not a good thing.  
I can't recall what ubuntu defaults it's /boot partition to (either 100 
or 200 megs).  So you'd need a few kernels in there before it fills up 
but still not something to go nutty with.  A couple is perfect unless 
you are testing something.

Nice!  Will try that tomorrow.  My Dell laptop won't suspend or 
hibernate.  Thanks for the heads up!
