Yep, happened to me too, just a couple months ago. I lost two Linux servers (fried the power supplies). Fortunately they were under warranty and I got them fixed. Fortunately, also, the drives were fine: no data lost. I had a third machine on the same circuit (BSD firewall) but it didn't have any problems at all. Then I got an APC backup unit. The one I have has a serial port that can be used to trigger the machines to shut down gracefully, so if the power's out and you're not there, the machines won't run the battery down to zero power. --Jon
