Normally Suspend/Sleep.   If I go travelling I Hibernate,  and restart every 
time Windows updates or Firewall updates ask me to - which is fairly often.

Suspend is fast.  Get around suspend/resume losses by saving everything 
before suspend, and logging titles of open windows in case it don't resume. 
(Was annoying enough I wrote a program to do logging and suspend in one 
hit).

I don't know if MS or anyone else has ever really nailed suspend.  The Vista 
sleep/suspend is a I think a hybrid where some (but not all) is saved to 
disk before sleeping.  After a day or more off, you find it has 
automatically hibernated - whether it has to fire up again to do that and 
overheat if its in a bag I don't know (XP was likely to do that).

I suspect from experience its good to leave it run until it really is off 
before picking it up - movement of the HD while going to sleep may make it 
less likely to resume

What are others experience with suspend/sleep?   Is OSX better - I get the 
impression it may be.  Linux?
