A UPS doesn't do you a damn bit of good if the power supply or
the fan on the CPU dies. Or if some moron kicks the power cable out.
Or if the OS is more unstable because it's not properly configured
and the system is being pushed too hard. A more reliable filesystem
does actually help in all of these cases, and a more properly tuned
system would be more likely to help in all of these cases.
