The "resources" in question is sufficient disk space to accommodate an
image of used memory, which in the above example would not be more than
2.5GB. Assuming the Windows victim above has that meagre 2.5GB available
on disk, he should be able to hibernate. Theoretically. Although in
practice it seems not ... on Windows at least.
And to think that the Windows fanbois have the cheek to criticise
Linux's ACPI and hibernate support.
