Hi all, Thanks for all the input. I agree with the advice not to skimp on the UPS. However in my case the device is only needed because the "aardlekschakelaar" (in English earth leakage cicruit breaker I believe) cuts the electricity. Not because the power itself is gone, but because of some leakage current. Of course we tried to find out why that is, but we haven't gotten any further than pinpointing the room where the cause most likely is to be found. In this case it doesn't matter if the current is broken when I'm not at home, because the server won't be up at those moments anyway. The UPS is only meant to keep my main system running during the time I need to switch the circuit breaker back on again. That should be within a few minutes. For the few times the server is on when I'm gone it would be nice to have auto shutdown and powerup. I noticed most of you recommended APC, so that'll probably be the one I go for. Any comments on their Powerchute software (I see it supports Linux), or should I just skip it and use NUT? Grx HdV -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
