If you decide to ask for help anyway, follow these tips:

1. Search the forum for your issue. Your problem may have been asked (and solved) for someone else first. If so, you will get your answer faster, and you'll avoid annoying us with repeat questions.
2. Choose the Support forum for the version of Ark Linux you're using. If you post to "Dockyard-devel" and your asking for help with "Dockyard", we'll expect to help you with and an entirely different version, so we might not tailor our advice to help with your specific problem.
3. Don't hijack someone else's thread. They'll have a slightly different setup from you, and often times it will be a slightly different problem from yours. If it turns out to be the same problem, we can merge your thread with theirs.
4. Be exhaustively detailed. The more information we have for your problem, the fewer questions we'll need to ask to find out what's wrong, and the sooner we'll be able to provide you the correct solution.
5. Be polite and patient. We are here to help. There is no need to get mad at us because a solution doesn't work. If it doesn't work, simply tell us any errors, and we can try something else.
6. Help others if you can. If you help them, they could very well pay you back by helping you.

while im not plugging this particular brand of ups i use apc.
regardless of the name brand chose a good one with a high joule rating.
even if it costs a bit it is still cheaper than having to buy a new computer!
the powerstrip suppressors should be replaced after every power surge.]]>

I'm using Ark Linux H20 2008 by the way (because it was the recommended download).
