From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used Hibernation in the past (years ago), but nowadays I don't. It also depends on the BIOS configuration and probably the motherboard. There was a period (on a different distribution and probably something different hardware, can't remember details) when the Hibernation did not work. I mean Hibernation to suspend to disk and shutdown PC entirely. I'm actually curios if it works for me right now and will test it. :-)
Edit: Ah okay, it can't work for me, because I set a very small swap. Never mind.
