Merry Christmas, Recently I had a fairly serious and complex problem which I tracked down through a process of elimination. I narrowed it down to my window manager, and then on the suspicion that I may have had file corruption due to a number of power outages which occurred shortly before the problem initially struck, I reinstalled my window manager and copied back my configuration file, and the problem appears to be fixed.
Is a UPS good protection or is it "fluff"? I mostly get a lot of surges, a number of outages, and some lightning. Currently I have a heavy duty surge suppressor, and my system is a standalone workstation. Are there any Linux UPS resources out there other than the HOWTO ? I'd like to find out which models have "intelligent" UPS features working with Linux, and which models ship with prefabricated RS-232 cables for Linux. -- David Stern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://weber.u.washington.edu/~kotsya/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
