brainstorm.ubuntu.com — Slashdot-ed ( http://is.gd/5BfK ) launchpad bug #59695 ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 ) "High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime", seems to have generated a lot of fear and confusion in the Linux community. Canonical & Dell need to issue an official statement to clear the air.

I agree... No statement means more confusion amongst users and it sometimes makes them aware of installing Linux... Higly needed

"Supposedly" being the key word. It hasn't "actually" been fixed.

why speculate? why don't we let Canonical and Dell let us know the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?! we CAN handle the truth! :Dcast your votes of support please :)
