Wow. I had thought it was just a different name for "Hibernate", which
used to be an option in addition to sleep.
I was wondering why nothing was restored after a hard reboot.
I'm dual booting off a drive so nothing in memory is going to persist; I
need each OS to hibernate, not sleep or suspend or any other
RAM-dependent behavior.
The absence of a reliable hibernate is a big deal to me so I'm
considering gong back to 12.04.
(That plus a few other annoyances in 14.x)
The name "freeze" is an amazingly poor choice. I tried to Google for
info, but "freeze" has a long history with a particular meaning for
computers so I never found anything useful.
Thanks again,
