I'm in need of a massive hardware upgrade...
I have UPS's that don't work for more than a minute -- dead battery.
But they are "dumb" boxes and want to replace them with smarter units
rather then getting new batteries. And I know Debian is a slightly
different OS in that it doesn't really "do" the vendor binaries. Is
there something that is well supported and easily installed under Debian
that I can use. Years ago I purchased a Belkin UPS and found out later
one that the binaries don't work with all the UPS and linux combinations
-- any one want to guess what side of that line I fell on?
So -- what's a working combination of UPS and software? What to avoid?
I have a Back-UPS LS 500 that uses the Debian apcupsd package.
It gets excellent support: http://www.apcupsd.org/
It also is a need of a new battery. And getting that in Oaxaca, Mexico
is quite another story.
