Fedora May Be Killing Your Laptop's Hard Drive?




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?
