Used RAM: 242,908KB
Free RAM: 3,900KB
Used Swap: 169,572KB
Free Swap: 328,400KB
This, IMO is more than enough, and must hibernate.
If I hibernate, Ubuntu locks session instead and leaves it there.

I have exactly that much - 256 MB.
And hardy is slow.
Besides, as I said, I know a guy who uses a debian-sid-kde system on a 1.5GHz P3 with 128mb ram and its faster and more responsive than my Gnome.
His disto(a customised debian), can be found on sourceforge, and its name is Beejex Linux.

I am a newbie no more.
And there is hardly any difference between friendliness of Vector Linux and Ubuntu.
