Looks like I know what my next UPS will be... Eaton is announcing support for Ubuntu (http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS9416037415.html) for their (GPL-licensed) software to connect to their UPSes. Ubuntu versions 6.06-7.10 are supported. Very nice!

The article focuses on this being more proof that Ubuntu is being taken seriously, since hardware vendors are working on supporting it.

Also, when I searched for a previous thread on this, I found that in March 2007 someone was worried that Eaton UPS software didn't support Ubuntu (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372903). Perhaps Eaton was listening ;)
