Best UPS for Linux?
I must replace my Belkin UPS which was damaged by a power surge. I have
been happy enough with it and the Bulldogdry software for linux. Its
internal software got fried when we were hit by a lightning indiced
[pwer surge but the computer behind it was uscathed.
I ask the question, "What is the best UPS for Linux." only because in
response to a recent posting someone asked why I didn't buy a UPS from a
manufacturer which explicitly supported Linux. I checked five different
manufacturers at CompUSA and ran several google searches. Every UPS I
found, Belkin included, explicitly supported only Microsoft and
MacIntosh. Belkin, I know, does include shutdown software for Linux
although there is nothing to this effect on the box. Based on my
experience I will stick with Belkin unless someone can point me to a
manufacturer with the courage to put "Supports Linux" on the outside of
their boxes.
