    I must replace my Belkin UPS which was damaged by a power surge. I have
    been happy enough with it and the Bulldogdry software for linux. Its
    internal software got fried when we were hit by a lightning indiced
    [pwer surge but the computer behind it was uscathed.

    I ask the question, "What is the best UPS for Linux." only because in
    response to a recent posting someone asked why I didn't buy a UPS from a
    manufacturer which explicitly supported Linux. I checked five different
    manufacturers at CompUSA and ran several google searches. Every UPS I
    found, Belkin included, explicitly supported only Microsoft and
    MacIntosh. Belkin, I know, does include shutdown software for Linux
    although there is nothing to this effect on the box. Based on my
    experience I will stick with Belkin unless someone can point me to a
    manufacturer with the courage to put "Supports Linux" on the outside of
    their boxes.
