In my experience hibernate is a pain, it takes an absolute age to restore and is often slower than booting from off.
Suspend works well though and I use it all the time. The difference being, at least as far as I understand it, that suspend stores all currently open data to RAM, and then powers off the hard disk, display, CPU and other stuff while keeping RAM powered. Hibernate writes all open data to swap partition and then completely powers off the computer. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
