That's not. You'll be hard pressed to find any PCs that aren't at least
caoable 1024 x 768 still in use [okay, you won't but they're still
massively outnumbered].

Um, no. Just because 1024 x 768 is common, it doesn't mean I can't buy a
monitor that can do 1600 x 1200 if I wish to pay the money. Why would it?

That's true as well. But it still doesn't justify the above statement.

I suggets purchasing one of the Dell or IBM models certified by Red Hat.
They can both do 1024 x 768. The Dell can do 1600 x 1200 IIRC [its a huge
16 inch, equivalent to a desktop 17/19 inch]
