Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations for inexpensive SOHO UPSs that are Linux friendly? I'm just after something that will smooth power fluctuations a bit, and give a few minutes to cleanly shut down a home server when there's a power outage. The home server has a 650W PSU, and I've measured it drawing about 80-90W when reasonably idle.<div>
<br></div><div>I've done some Googling, and most of the recommended ones seem to have all been bought out by Eaton. So Eaton have several lines of PSUs, but their site only recommends their own line. Eaton at least seem to have great Linux support across all (?) ranges.<br clear="all">
<div><br></div><div>I've read some horror stories about cheap UPSs outputting Square Waves and confusing the poor modern day PSU - although most reports I've read are from a few years ago. Eaton don't seem to have much details on the output of their lower end ones, only touting the True Sine on the higher end ones.</div>
<div><br></div><div>These are a few of the ones I'm considering:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/BC-PW85562/98/">http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/BC-PW85562/98/</a></div><div><a href="http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/AL-E-MAX-600AL/98/">http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/AL-E-MAX-600AL/98/</a></div>
