Now, I've got to admit that I've always had some reservations about Linux but I guess that I'm a new convert from SunOS after acquiring two Ultra1 boxes running UltraLinux. At the moment the systems are networked to an old (is there any other kind) Sun 386i and using it as an X-terminal. It is, of course, far from ideal and, because the systems came without a monitor, I'm looking at getting one. The monitor that used to be with one of the boxes was a Sun-badged GDM-17E20 (17"). Sony cannot tell me if they have an exact equivalent but I'm looking at a 19" CPDG420 (which, I gather, replaced the earlier CPDE420). Sony's consultant assures me that it will work (it has the usual multisync/resolution ranges). Does anybody have any experience with this monitor or can offer me some advice? Thanks, Ralphe Neill
