Is there any way to make my PC hibernate when I press the power button? Obviously when I press this button somewhere some signal is sent. Can it be intercepted to enable my PC to hibernate?

Searching for "power button" on this site yielded this helpful answer that includes the needed pointer toacpidwhich is also explained here where you find references to for examplepm-utilswhich might also help.

@sr_: Does this daemon come with all linux distros, or do I have to install it by myself?

I guess it's really common among Linux distributions. What's yours? Look atps aux | grep acpid, it might already be running.

Assuming you useacpidandpm-utils, this can easily be adjusted to your needs.

@sr_:acpidis a (the?) correct way to handle this kind of events, so I guess you can write one of your comments as an answer :-)

You probably (could) use acpid (check via ps aux | grep acpid). Then have a look at this article in the ArchWiki explaining how to use pm-utils to extend acpid to easily achieve whatever effect you'd like when some hardware button is pressed.
If, however, you use GNOME, there other (also GUI) ways, see this comprehensive thread on askubuntu.com
