Hey.
NetBSD does just the same thing: it cuts the power from the display
and leaves all the processes running. The con is that it consumes way too much power, and I guess it's the same thing with linux, although
generally linux power management is better and more widely developed.
Therefore I see more advantages in putting my effort on linux
developing. Also I know the linux kernel internals better than bsd's.
I'll see what I can do. But first I'm off to install it.
Cheers.
