2005-03-03 Ubuntu-doc report

[Jonathan Jesse]

I don't know how the hibernate really works but I can try and tackle it.  I just upgraded from warty -> hoary and it went pretty painless on my laptop.  However when I used hibernate earlier this week, nothing happened, still drained my battery and didn't truly hibernate like my Windows partition does.

I have added text to the following and changed status to review.

Add Remove Programs   Help Wanted
Palm OS Devices       Help Wanted
Screen Resolution     Help Wanted

I don't have a sound system on my ubuntu lab so can't do Sound Recorder. 
Screen capture and text welcomed.

I have never used BitTorrent, so have no idea what I must do when prompted for 
a metafile. If somebody could hint me I will take.

Still don't know what the option "Hibernate this computer" is supposed to do 
on an box that is not a laptop. I can understand if my ubuntu lab was running 
on a lappy.
