Ubuntu karmic and NUT setup

2010-01-31 Thread Andrew Sands

Hi,

Anyone on list tried to connect up a Dynamix UPS-1000CL (serial version) 
to Ubuntu Karmic via NUT?


Before I invest too much time, I'd like to hear any possible war stories?

Thanks,

Andrew

I know that this is a very OT but is anyone else sick the assumption that all
computer enthusiast are and _only_ are gamers?

I'm an amateur software engineer, I dabble in 3D imaging, I just passed the 
LPIC 101 and people ask me for my informed opinion on computer games.



If I'm really, really bored, the kind of bored that you only are when sick 
I'll play SuperTux. That's about it for me.


Do I only get this because I'm under twenty or does it go for everyone here?


No I think its just you... the only gamer here in the office isn't 
assumed to be a gamer (or so he says)


Perhaps its age / dress / mannerisms / conversations about frag rounds 
and the best strategy for placing snoods.

I volunteer at Trade Aid, and they use Red Hat on their server in
Auckland. For one reason or another, we need real time access to this
server when processing a sale - so it's essential and used by everyone. We
still have XP on the computer behind the counter though.

Was in auckland last week and the kiosk free internet PC i
was on locked up.

I 3 finger saluted it (thinking windows box) but was
surprised to see it go down with a linux display and then
rebooted with Ubuntu - using Opra for the browser.

I was very surprised to say the least.

my 2c worth.

Dave.
