[ProgSoc] Fast booting

[Vik <vlrajews@nospam.acs.itd.uts.edu.au>]

Would it be feasible to create a program, which, when halting a Linux (or
other) system, takes a snapshot of all memory (including virtual) being
used, dumps this to disk, and then when the system is started again, just
restores it memory contents instead of loading everything from scratch? Is
there a prog which already does this?
