sure?
i used a laptop from 2003 until 2011 as my main working machine
all the day and never came to the idea write a 6 GB to a slow
mobile-disk and load it the next time instead simply shutdown/boot
And I used to do it all the time. There's no reason to shutdown and
reboot a system unless there's a kernel update, so being able to suspend
or hibernate a system and then restore at a later date is a convenience.
I only don't do it now because hibernate doesn't work for me with F17.
