I'm using Hibernate (aka. suspend to disk), and I'm quite satisfied with 
it. My boot times for a slow C3-600 system:

- Power-on to GRUB boot: 12s
- GRUB to OS up-and-running including DVB drivers: 15s
- VDR up-and-running: 15s

In total, the system needs about 45s to be up, with just 15s being OS 
related (debian/etch-a-half). The system is also not optimized for being 
very light-weighted, its mostly a normal debian without X. Booting the 
stock debian kernel takes roughly 60s longer, a selfmade kernel without 
initrd would also be noticeably faster.


Cheers,

Udo
