I also use an RS/XS 1500 + extra battery to keep several PCs and other networking odds and ends up. With all this junk running it holds up for over 1 hour and if I'm away and have monitors off and shutdown one of the three PCs it lasts over 2 hous. This has been a very good UPS for a very small network. I monitor it from a RHEL5 box and don't bother with extra packages ... just use HAL directly and have a small script to notify me of events ... I deal with shutdowns as needed rather than relying on the UPS as well. John -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
