OK. APC seems to be well represented in pretty much everywhere. I'll
take a look at what they have to offer.

You are not limited to apc; I have a belkin, and it works well with nut.

Problem is, neither apcupsd nor nut are very easy to setup. As a matter of
fact, they're simply a PITA and most 'average' users give up after just a few
minutes of trying. It's unfortunate, because if one has an UPS and isn't
nearby to turn the machine off when the power goes out, the battery gets used
up lots faster (meaning it won't last nearly as long as if it could be
automatically shutdown in a minute or less with the software). :(
