There has been a recent scare posting on SlashDot, (quoting <https://launchpad.net/bug59695.html>) "Ubuntu May Be Killing Your Laptop's Hard Drive", suggesting that Ubuntu "may be dramatically shortening the life of your laptop's hard drive due to an aggressive power-saving feature". It wasn't clear to me if the action described is actually restricted to Ubuntu, or is common to all Linux distributions. Does it in fact affect Fedora?
