Hi all,
P.S.
Is there a way to do screen capture too?

Hi all,
Is there a way to keep programs already opened open upon restart? Like I have a gnumeric spreadsheet and a calculator that I would like to have open upon starting my N800 each time. I know you can do this on a Linux desktop; just figured it can be done on the N800.
Then you just start your applications and leave them running, iconized.

Karel has a point that I think is valid, at least if you're shutting down several times a day.
As for suspend/resume with full shutdown, it could actually be possible. The Linux kernel has a feature where, at shutdown, you store the whole RAM image to the swap partition, and when you boot it can restore the old RAM snapshot from swap. I've never used it myself (it's still considered "experimental"), but I don't see why that couldn't be enabled on an N800 (if a sufficiently large swap partition is set up).
