NO WAY in the world you can _damage_ your hardware by installing Linux.
The one exception to the inability of software to damage hardware actually comes in the video card and monitor realm. In some cases, it is possible to configure frequency parameters that cause overheating or even burn-out in some components of the video board or monitor. I'll admit modern hardware (certainly most everything manufactured since computers became consumer items) are pretty much immune to this phenomenon, but it did happen with early PC hardware and software. I suppose it mostly constitutes trivia. Now back to our regularly scheduled exchange of problems, solutions and ideas. Randall Schulz
