Doesn't the user-space hibernate still exist? Didn't that allow hibernate to a file, with compression and everything?

I don't know, I haven't run a Linux laptop in almost a year now since an X.org bug killed my old laptop by overheating it.

tuxonice allows that too. But just because you *can* hibernate to a file
doesn't mean you *must*.
