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.
