No, not at all. I'm not a fan of hibernation, since it never seems to
work properly (I'm talking about Windows *and* Linux here). Things
always get messed up when I come back from hibernating.

I've always heard that swap should be "double the RAM", but that would
be 4G for me, and I just can't give up that much space on a laptop.
