re: hibernate & switch systems:  probably your best bet there would be
to build a suspend2-enabled kernel (which means: get the kernel
source, patch it w/ suspend2 patches (www.suspend2.net), make xconfig,
enable suspend2, disable suspend) & suspend to a file rather than to a
swap partition.  I've never done it so it may not be so very easy.
