I know it's a minor detail, but in userspace there's a convention of calling suspend-to-disk "hibernation" and suspend-to-ram "suspend" - most people now are using the new names. Please see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnome-power-manager/docs/sleep-names.html and http://live.gnome.org/GnomePowerManager/SleepNames I would really like the OLPC userspace to stick to this nomenclature, even if it's just in the UI.
