Hello Everyone!
I have been meaning to get a UPS for my computer for a while. A friend recommends getting one from APC, and since I can get those at work (assuming our prices are competitive), I am likely to follow his advice.
What I'm hoping all of you can help me with is, while he's a full time Linux user too, my friend hasn't actually bothered to set his UPS to automatically shut down his computers in the event of a power outage, if the battery on the UPS is getting low. I was hoping that someone on the forums has ventured down this path and might be able to advise me on what's involved in setting it up, and if there are any features/settings/requirements I need to look for when selecting my UPS.
Any direct experience with a particular brand/model, even if it's outside the brand my friend advised me to get would also be welcome.
Thanks in advance for all help you guys can give me.
