I found the battery/power options appear to work well also.  Sounds like
you had similar experience with the suspend mode under windows as well. 
:)

Interesting about the filesystem type.  Looking at dmesg on my laptop I
found this:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed

In my fstab it clearly has / as an ext3 file system.  Think this could
be a typo in the log message?

You may have found a bug.  A benign bug but still a bug.
