Serial console isn't a problem - it is how I put Debian on the HP and my IBM 
6015s.

I just like seeing what I'm typing, especially on something with "3D Creator" 
in the name.  The HP is also allegedly a graphics workstation, with two video 
cards.  (OK, they're not NEW, and the HP has a whopping 160MHz processor, but 
they should at least run a display.)

I've seen at least one 13w3 monitor & a few 13w3->vga adapters at surplus, but 
have never needed them before.  As soon as I get the Sun box, they're gone of 
course. :)  I was hoping someone local had 'extra' before I went to ebay.

Cheers,

James
