Hibernate == suspend to disk?

A few years back, I had a Sony Vaio with the proper disk partition to
support this, but my new laptop arrived with the whole disk
partitioned up and no room for that wacky Windows-esque suspend
partition.  I'm planning on reinstalling soon (wasn't going to do it
before OLS) and attempting to get suspend to disk working - anyone
done this, or have any tips on it?
