I recently had a brief power failure, didn't lose any data whatsoever, and decided that my Linux box has had its free-bee...
I read reviews, checked the HOWTO's, searched the web, and this is what I know thus far: APC seems to have the name brand recognition, but they are not Linux-friendly (though there has been a lot of reverse-engineering). BEST and TrippLite get nice marks, but not too common in stores. They are mentioned in HOWTO I read, but only very briefly. Opti-UPS gets great reviews in the general press, but no connection (that I have found, HOWTO's or otherwise) between any Linux users and that brand of UPS. Does anyone know anything about the Opti-UPS's? I sent mail to their tech support today asking if they support Linux in any way, but I would like to know if anyone has any experience with them. I'm leaning toward that one based on price, good reviews, anice warranty, and the fact that it is line-interactive. BUT, I have no experience with UPS's. If they don't support Linux, and I don't hear anything favorable, I might have to go with APC Thanks for any input. -dh -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
