Comment 8 for bug 306119

Actually if only testing a various distributions to see how they handle
the suspend/ resume is what you need, then you have a number of options
available that do not include wiping out your current root partition.
For example you may consider installing Lin on a memory stick or other
removable media, like external HDD. A week ago I noticed 8GB memory
sticks were selling for less than $20 if memory serves well. You can
partition those in Lin and even install several distros on just one of them
Let me know if you have any luck with any other distro, which I
seriously doubt by the way - I'm pretty sure this is not a distro issue
