I'm looking for a suitable battery-backup and surge protection unit
for my personal computers and peripherals, and am not entirely sure
what to look for, so hoping for suggestions.  I'm leaning toward
either Belkin or APC brand-wise, but of course the model selection in
each is pretty broad, so could use some narrowing.  I'm thinking about
spending somewhere in the $100-$300 range.  It absolutely has to have
software compatible with Ubuntu - I see APC software in the repos, and
Belkin claims a number of their units support it, so that should be
okay.  Can anyone give me some tips?
