Uswsusp
Encyclopedia
uswsusp is a suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk implementation for the Linux
operating system, compatible with kernels 2.6.17 and onwards. It supports both s2ram ("standby
") and s2disk ("hibernate
"), as well as a mode called "s2both", which saves state to disk and RAM. S2both is intended for use in low-battery situations where restoring from ram is desired but can't be relied on as the battery may fail causing a restore from disk to be necessary.
Uswsusp supports image checksumming, compression, encryption as well as integration with Splashy

Splashy
Splashy is a splash screen program for Unix-like computer operating systems , such as Linux and FreeBSD.Splashy was designed to replace Bootsplash. Unlike Bootsplash, it runs completely in userspace and therefore doesn't require any patches to the OS kernel...
