UPS recommendations?



Greets,
	So my wonderful new apartment is impressively lacking on decent
power (only two 15 amp fuses), which I'm sure will bite me one day as I'm
writing the last chapter of my groundbreaking dissertation and haven't
saved in far too long. 
	Therefore, I'm going to go buy a UPS or two for my router and
desktop.  However, besides the knowledge that I really should buy one, I
know nothing else about them.

	Basically, I need one which will work with Linux in a useful
manner.  More or less, it should have a serial connection (do any
currently deal with USB s.t. a linux box can get the shutdown signal?) and
a decent amount of power (5 minutes? 10 minutes?)

	Any recommendations?

-Seth
