I'm in the market for a good UPS for my home office. Key word being<br>
'good'. I don't want some junk that doesn't work well, or fails after<br>
a few months. I also don't want to spend a fortune, but I'm willing<br>
to spend a few hundred for something good. My minimum requirements<br>
are:<br>
* at least 1kW capacity<br>
* at least 1 hour of battery capacity during power outages<br>
* shields devices from power fluctuations, spikes, and other abnormalities<br>
* at least two power sockets (2 devices)<br>
* good Linux support<br>
<br>
Is there anything that doesn't cost thousands that meets those requirements?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
