I hope you are aware that there is a BIOS bug that can cause Linux to
brick the machine. As in: once it happens, the motherboard needs to
be replaced.
See this, for example:

Google will tell you more.
Wow, that's major. Thanks for the heads-up!
Just an FYI:
I've installed Fedora 20, then Cent OS 6.5 and now Fedora 19 with no
BIOS issues whatsoever.....
