What are you doing that requires the computer to stay on?  Why not turn 
it off?

I have found that even for this newbie, once the repos are activated, 
synaptic does not take many steps to install something.  Two steps is 
too many?

Once again, what are you doing?  From watching the list there are plenty 
of people using (*)buntu on their computer to _work_.  They don't seem 
to be having any earth shattering problems.  Your rant doesn't have much 
substance, and only mentions one real problem.
If hibernate is the only thing that draws you back to Windows, is it 
worth it for what you are doing?
