[Techtalk] Question about Software Suspend

In looking at laptop info, it seems as if those laptop where Suspend
doesn't work that well, can often use Software Suspend instead.
But I'm slightly confused about the instructions for setting up software
suspend -- it says that one should tell the kernel the swap partition to
use to suspend to.  Does that mean that one has to have *two* swap
partitions -- one for normal swap, and the other for software suspend?
Or do you just use the normal swap partition?

Niklaus Wirth has lamented that, whereas Europeans pronounce his name correctly
(Ni-klows Virt), Americans invariably mangle it into (Nick-les Worth).  Which
is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value.
