How long do they sustain operation if the power fails?

It all depends on how power hungry your machine is. LCD is more
efficient than CRT, a Cool 'n Quiet AMD CPU is probably more efficient
than an older generation Intel CPU. A friend recently purchased this
model (http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=21) UPS for her
20" iMac. Has more than enough power to let her save her work and power
down her machine gracefully. Cost her 35.00 US dollars.

So, in this same vein, does linux recognize events from a USB(i think)
connected UPS? I have some of my boxen on UPS with the monitors on
regular power to give me more uptime on them. THe idea is to recognize
that we've gone to UPS power and gracefully take the system down
automatically.
