Putting Linux on my laptop caused it to go in for 6 weeks of repairs >.<

Um, how?

 

 

Well I created a partition and then gave it 40GB, installed Fedora and it was fine. But after seeing my mates Kubuntu, I prefered the KDE distro and the wireless capabilities of it far out paced Fedora which was to be honest utterly shit with wireless connections. So I got rid of Fedora and then installed Kubuntu which I thought was fine apart from the fact that it would not play sound for some reason (probably lacking drivers). I didn't use it because of that reason and thought there was no point in having it on my HDD so I decided to get rid of it and then merge the partitions together. After I did this Windows decided to have a spasm, probably some sort of punishment for even daring to stray, and after 4 Blue Screens it finally got to the stage were it would not boot. Went to get it repaired and the shops awful customer service ended up with me going back and forth for two weeks until they finally took it off me and had it for around four weeks before finally giving it back to me. All they had done by the looks of things was spent £130 on new RAM and put a shit load of sticky documents on the lid >.< To be honest I would get Linux again if the sound worked because I use it at Uni and the bash command is far superioir to that of command line from Windows!

 

@ SuperDave: Yes I think it was Bill Gates that caused it after discovering I had strayed away from his baby!

Pre-Fedora 7 this was very much the case sadly.
