I'll check out the other distributions. I haven't used any of the GUI stuff, so mine all just boot to a login shell.

Since the Pi was powered by USB, my solution was to get one of those USB backup batteries. One port to charge and the other is the USB port to the phone or device. Never deployed so we didn't get to see if this cheapo Pi UPS worked.
