according to above link, 'f11' is key to use to recover from 'suspend'.

i do not use 'suspend' or 'hibernate'.

i use 'level 3' booting without graphics mess so that i can watch what
happens during boot.

i am aware that system does a check of swap partition to see if system was
in 'hibernate' mode. therefore i presume that just by turning power on and
allowing system to boot, it will reboot to state of when 'hibernate' was
initiated.

to me, 'hibernate' is way to go as it will give maximum of power saving.

age or system should not matter.
