It's pm-suspend-hybrid on Ubuntu. If I recall correctly, it didn't work
correctly for all machines. Also, this method of sleeping is slow, as it needs
to write things to the disk first prior to sleeping. The main reason I currently
use suspend instead of hibernate all the time is because of the (relatively)
long time it takes for a machine to fully hibernate, even when using TuxOnIce,
which is much faster than the default method. I believe suspend-hybrid isn't
ready for consumption just yet.
