my ultra enterprise 2, dual 200Mhz sparc beast at work has a UPS, my P60 linux box that I use there does not. We've had many power outtages. Twice the outtages have gone longer than the ultra's UPS battery. The first time I ONLY had to re-install 2.6 after re-making the filesystems on the disks. The second time, I had to get a new prom chip from Sun. I must admit that fsck on the Linux box has caused problems, it once deleted my Xgalaga scores file, but I recovered it from the lost+found dir. :)
