Do you mean ACPI? Linux support both APM and ACPI. These are kernel
config options. You can put your laptop to sleep with programs in
userspace. Look for a program called apm. I believe you can put your
machine to sleep with 'apm -s'. I don't know what the package names are
on RedHat, but on Debian there are two main packages, apmd and
apm-sleep. Try mounting the CD-ROMs that came with your distribution
and doing "find /cdrom -name '*apm*.rpm'" (this is assuming that your CD
is mounted on /cdrom).

In the 2.4.12 kernel, it's marked as experimental. I haven't checked
2.4.13 (which was just released) yet.
