I have experienced the death of 2 new WD Caviar drives after installing and running Debian Linux.  Each drive started with a clicking noise, several weeks later read errors appeared and now completely dead.  WD replaced the first drive without question.  Before I replace the second, could Linux be causing this?  The machine is a Gateway P-II 350.
