I'm no expert but what I understand is that if you want Linux to be aware
of the state of the UPS (e.g. when the mains go down the the UPS starts using
its battery, and how much time is left so Linux can shut down cleanly just before
the battery becomes empty) then your options might be limited. If you don't want
this option (which I think is pretty crucial) then you should just look at the peek
power of the UPS.


Look through the archives of linux-il. I think the subject was discussed thoroughly
just a few months ago, with pointers to specific UPS's which can be found in Israel
and which support Linux as well.

After my 10th power off in 3 days I am seriously looking to buy a UPS.

I looked in the local stores in Rechovot and saw one for 500 shekels.

Is the a problem using a UPS with linux?

How do I know which one to buy and if I am getting a good deal?

Thanks
Aaron
