Yes - I second the recommendation for minimyth. It suspends very well
right out of the box. I never could get a nfsroot setup to resume
from suspend, so finding minimyth with the ram rootfs was a good
thing. It will auto setup almost everything for you.
I would recommend using nfs (or any type of share) for a themecache
though. It great speeds up loading the artwork for you. I have all
the exact same frontends, so they all mount the same place and share
the info.
