UPS for a single system using apcupsd.

[Bob Cahn]

I'm contemplating buying an APC Back-UPS ES Battery Backup (BE500U). 
>From reading the HOWTOs there appears to be the APC UPS daemon at
www2.apcupsd.com.  Can anyone advise if this is a simple or a complex
project.  I lose power about once every 2 weeks in winter and it's only
a matter of time before the disk gets zapped.

Thanks in advance,
