I have used both the Infocus (now merged with proxima) LP225 and the
Proxima Ultralight LS1 under linux.  The Proxima's remote mouse works just
fine.

Both of these were used at 800x600.

I have had good luck with CDW and TUSD purchase orders.  Also Buy.com took
one one time...(doubt they will ever again, TUSD takes a minimum of 90
days to pay, if not more).

Also PCNation has been very good to us.
