This is frustrating for me too. My take on it is that modern distros 
(SLED, Fedora, Ubuntu) are, in desktop terms, ready for prime time, 
either matching or exceeding features offered by other O/Ses.

What's needed now is polish on the rough edges and hibernate/suspend is 
definitely one of those rough edges. I know that this is a tricky issue 
as the kernel architecture doesn't easily lend itself to hibernating and 
there's variation in manufacturers' implementation of standards. But 
it's 2006, users will expect this...
