granted it might be a toss up as to which is cheaper... the card or a random Linux machine. but i suppose if you were using the Linux machine anyway it's not an issue. if you weren't though... the space taken up by a Linux machine is definitely more than the network card inside the UPS.

there is a limit to how many machines you should be running on a small UPS anyway.

Engadget, as far as these how-tos go, I love them. Though I don't understand everything (well in certain ones) (as I am only 13), I love them!
And the add a good touch of needed geekiness to this tech blog!

I'm not sure you'll find nut there, but Debian maintains an ARM repository of each of its releases. If its there, one could unpack the .deb package and install nut manually.

A small linux box that consumes very little power is far more efficient than using an entire PC only to send a simple trigger.

and shut down as many systems as you wanted. Much simpler, since you don't need Linux, or any other machines.]]>Jul 25th 2006 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/25/how-to-network-your-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/25/how-to-network-your-ups/]]>Jul 25th 2006 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/25/how-to-network-your-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/25/how-to-network-your-ups/Actually I have a 2200va xlnet from apc with 1 extra battery and I don't bother shutting my machines down when the power goes out.
