#_ Hmm... Sounds small... Is it the lowest model light? I've been
#_ putting my eyes on one that boasts it is 2.75 lbs, but it is out of
#_ stock right now. Getting a battery from my notebook manufacturer
#_ (Compaq) doesn't look like an option(it's going to cost me P10000 and
#_ a month of waiting). But with Red Hat 7.2's support for extfs3, I'm
#_ thinking of rather relying on the journaling system. Data loss is
#_ fine with me as long as there is no damage done to the Linux
#_ installation. Will you recommend the small UPS you mentioned for my
#_ mobile notebook use?

As an added safety (no warranties), you can include the "poor man's UPS"

Add this line in /etc/crontab:

* * * * * root /bin/sync

This will run sync every minute.
