Trauma

Well it's been five months since it really happened, but it still keeps popping me up as fears of my computer breaking down.
The thing was that last January, my computer took and broke down in an interesting way; on boot the screen kept being blank, and the computer was totally inresponsive. I had got this thing on the spring of 2007 also when I took it to be fixed, and the mainboard had to be switched and what else.
So the computer was, shortly said, a wreck, and I was forced to get a new one. Having spent all of the confirmation money I had got (and some other I had) to get the new computer, I was finally back "on my feet". The only little thing on the computer was that it had Windows Vista.
I was disgusted of the sight that it had Vista, and it didn't take more than a couple of days for that for me to go insane of it and look to get Linux back, but what happened was that the old computer had been working for a year with Windows on it, then I had switched and it didn't last more than a half a year before it first broke down, so I did sort of fear of putting Linux on it, "in case it'd cause something happen to it". Of course when I had that, I did ask a couple of people and I constantly got the response that "Linux can't break your BIOS" which I did know but still had "afraid" of it. However, it didn't really take more than a couple of weeks for me to have enough of it and put Kubuntu on it once more.
Here I am now, on my current Debian testing system, with a trauma of what the breakdowns had done in the past. (Of course I am embarrassed of those idiotic "fears" of mine back then and I wouldn't really want to discuss them further.
