>From dup Bug #661383 "Outside discussions of whether "suspend" should be called "sleep" or "sleep" should be called "suspend", there needs to be consistency.
Specifically in Power Management Preferences, both words "sleep" and "suspend" are used and mean the same thing. Under Actions is "Put computer to sleep when inactive for:" while the drop-down selection boxes have "Suspend" as an option." Both of these links are worth noting: http://live.gnome.org/GnomePowerManager/SleepNames https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-May/017718.html ** Description changed: In the Power Menu, "Suspend" should be renamed to "Sleep" because sleep falls on a continuum with hibernation/"Hibernate", and "sleep" is a more intuitive term for new users (you can verify this by asking ten people who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "suspend" a computer, then ask another ten people who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "sleep" a computer). + + --------- + + Specifically in Power Management Preferences, both words "sleep" and + "suspend" are used and mean the same thing.
