I doubt it.

Would you stop using XP if that was what you were running when the
laptop burned out? Your story is the first I've heard of a laptop
frying itself while running Linux (and I've used Linux for over 9
years now, and using it on my own laptops for over 4 years). 

I can't rebuild your confidence in Linux, since I don't know much
about ACPI and if it is possible to fry a laptop with it. All I can
say is: look around and see how many people are experiencing what you
had happen. Perhaps your experience really was a freaky accident.

Cheers!
