This sounds like you have a very serious power supply problem. Electrolytic
caps don't generally explode unless you run them backwards or with
significantly excessive voltage. I strongly suspect the later in this case.
Probably most everything that was in the box at the time is 'hurt' at this point.

Bummer....

The distro compat. lists are pretty much out of date. Linux certainly won't
damage your hardware in this way, whether you have problems running it or not.
