[TriLUG] UPS Recommendations?

[David Both]

I use 4 APC Back-UPS 1500's with my Linux systems. I have apcupsd for UPS 
management which is available from the fedora Updates repo. Should install 
directly using yum. These UPS systems connect using USB so it is very easy to 
install and manage them.

Other size APC Back-UPS should work as well.
